Back to Painting

After a big break caused by time, work, and sickness I sat back in front of the easel and put paint to canvas.  This is the block-in fro a sunset on the Chesapeake Bay.

Lady Sketch

This is a sketch made after the style of Frank Franzetta.  Frank was one of the best illustrators of all things fantasy and the comics of his day.  This is a copy of one of this heroine's faces.   I liked the style of it.

Moose Silhouette

This is today's artwork, I did this in pencil as a value study of a painting I am considering doing,  I am experimenting with getting the right composition.

I am back - Flight Sketch

I am back from work travel.  I was gone for two weeks and was sick a bit also.  I did this sketch while on my flight.  It is real simple but I need to be back on the doing art wagon.

Catch and Release

This is a sketch I have done in watercolor pencils.  It is a catch and release of a nice big Trout.  You color in your basic tones with the pencil and then use a watercolor brush to blend it in and then you can add more colors to make it better and add depth.

Nude Back Twist Sketch

I sketched this in pencil as another exercise of practice and observation.  Just more practice towards 10,000 hours.

Block man sketch

Block man sketch in pencil.. This is the way to simplify a body and get the basics down on paper.
