Bluebird of Happiness

I returned to working with marker and a brush pen to do this Bluebird perched in a blossoming tree.

Rough In - Kerri Scuba

I roughed i this today as part of my Father's Day fun.  It is a little rougher than I would like especially in the face but I will work this some more to get it the way it needs to be of my Daughter Kerri.  This is from a few years ago after her first scuba dive.  This was done in oil paint.

Quick sketches - Body shapes

Worked some pencil sketches on shapes to break down the human body into tubes, cones and ovals.

Mutt Dog in Cartoon style

I sketched this tonight. A little work every night.  Some times involved, sometimes easier since the day job does wear you out sometimes.  This is pencil. 2H and 6B.  So a light and dark leads.

Cherry Trees in marker and brush

Well I have survived another week of work and came home to work on the passion for art.  I used an ink brush to paint the trunks.  An Ink Brush is like a fountain pen with an ink cartridge but instead of a nib if has a brush tip.  I then used two colors of pink markers, three colors of brown and two of green for the rest.  I think this would have been better if the color was added with watercolor paint but I have been trying the markers to figure out the best applications for its use.

Horses at Play

Back to some Marker work and Ink Brush.  Done is a Sumi style.

Charcoal Glass Still Life

More Charcoal Work of Glass and China.  A bit big for the scanner.
