SnowBoarder James - block-in

I started the block-in on Snowboarder James.  I don't think I will do much with his Hoodie, I like the way it roughed in.  The hat, its Logo, the reflection on the googles, and the face will get the majority of Attention to finish this up.

Grand Canyon Watchtower - block-in

I worked on this today, I bit of an experiment.  I did a more detailed block-in, which will still need a lot of adjustment to make it a successful study in Oil paint.  The sky and clouds are good but everything else is going to need attention and adjustment.

Bear Cub with Salmon


I worked on this as a Birthday card for my brother-in-law Danny whose Birthday is today.  I will probably tweak the foreground and get this cub into the water tomorrow with better detail.  I used colored pencil and pentel ink pen to do this sketch.  So I fixed the water, fresh eyes make it easier.

Beach Clouds

I have been working on this Beach Clouds for the last two nights.  Tonight I think it has a better show of progress.  I think i posted the block-in on this but I cannot find the first picture to post so you just get this one tonight.  It is late and I need  go to bed.  You can probably scroll back and find it.  This is a 9x12 oil and I am just working on the clouds, the edges between the various layers and the water surface.

Rabbit

This has been a busy odd weekend so not much artwork done.  This is a mixed media Rabbit of colored pencils and pentel ink pens for the fur texture.
