Summer Thundercloud study

Tonight's study is the start of a cloud study of Summer Thundercloud building over the hills.  I will need to add more color variations to the clouds to add dimension to the cloud structure.

Snowboard James

I worked on Snowboard James's hat, logo, face and googles to start getting it better refined and defined.  I still need to do some adjustments on the hoodie and hat but it has moved beyond the block-in stage.

Winter Tree Sketch

I have been working on this for the past two nights.  It is a pencil sketch of Aspen trees in winter time.  It is not an original sketch but something I am working on to develop skills.  I switch off between drawing and painting.

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.

Thunderclouds study

I worked a Thunderclouds study in small oil study.  I am working on a series of sky and clouds.  Expect more small studies in the coming days.

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.
