Head Sketch #5

I am back from a little vacation visiting the daughter in Utah.  I am continuing the head sketches.  My goal is to get to 50 head sketches.  It should make a difference in my abilities.  So I am working the pencil skills and portrait skills.

Head sketch #4

This is another head sketch.  I used white paper and toned it with pencil I blended in.  Then I used a 6B, 2B, and H lead pencil.  I used a kneadable eraser to get the white areas.

Head Sketch #3

Another Head sketch done in pencil.

Head Sketch #2

A pencil sketch of another head, part of the work on making sketches of heads.

Head sketch #1

So I am back on the art horse and started this sketch of 3/4 head profile.  I am going to do a series of these to get better on the head.   This was done in pencil with a blending stump to blend.

Black Bear

I am back from some travel for work.  I have not been working on much.  I only managed to do this pencil sketch of a Black Bear.  Since everyone does Turkeys for Thanksgiving, I decided a Bear would be better.

Daisy's in beach pail

This is an oil painting, I had worked on a while ago and I had let it sit.  I was not happy with it.   I pulled it out today and saw what I could do to fix it.  I reworked the background and modified the pail some.   It will need more work on the leaves.
