Ear Study

Happy Friday, i worked on another black and white study, this time of the ear. It is okay, but hey that is the point, keep practicing and practicing until you get it right and can do it easily and with mastery.

Mouth and Nose study

More of the face studies in black and white oil paint.  A simple exercise in quick practice of drawing with a brush.

Nose Study

I worked on a Nose study in Black and white oil.  Without eyes this is a little scary and creepy.

Eye Oil study

After a little break, I am back and should be more consistent in my posting.  I did this oil study of an eye in black and white paint today.

Autumn Monarch - closer

I worked on this one this evening.  I added some foliage and worked the elk trying to make it better. The foliage on the right is probably good.  I want to dry brush with just a little pigment on the elk to get better shapes and face definition.  The background foliage and the grass needs a few adjustments to get it were it needs to be for a complete painting.

Another Bull Elk study in pencil

I worked on this study of a Bull Elk.  This is a combo study.  I wanted to relook at how I was doing the Autumn Monarch Painting and I needed to do a birthday card for my brother-in-law.  This was all done with lead pencils.

Engine 487 - Cumbre and Toltec Lunch

If you ride the Cumbres And Toltec railroad you spend lunch at Oslier. This is where I took a photo of Engine 487.  I did this pencil sketch to start planning out the painting of this engine.  It is a small one but it is easier to figure out what you want to do with it small.
