Watercolor painting from a USO 2021 calendar - public domain (no copyright)

 

This painting used Micron colored ink and colored pencils, an eraser and a stump for blending.

Time for update on paintings - Book is finished awaiting the editors' ok.

This is the finished sketch which is now framed and awaiting Cait (my great-great niece) to pick up.

This is a sequence of sketches - Multi-media: Micron colored ink, pastel pencils eraser and stump for smoothing.

 

My nice niece.

 I had a wonderful 1.5 hours this afternoon in the company of my very beautiful great-great niece, as we sat down to get acquainted. I received a hug when we met, and a hug when we left.

I met a very petty, articulate and poised young lady. I'm happy she's my niece and that we will see each other over the next 4 years while she attends Brevard College. She has permitted me to post this picture. Portrait sketches of her will be forthcoming; again with her permission.

A Mood sketch

 Photograph vs sketch (not finished). The sketch is a "mood" (not moody - there's a difference) sketch of beauty contemplating.

Being Human

 People –

Acts of Kindness

There are in this world billions of people who do random acts of kindness for their family, friends, neighbors and strangers every day without wanting or even thinking of wanting anything more than “thanks”. This is the true religion: being human.

These are a sequence of pictures that will appear in my 4th book. These photos are to demonstrate my painting process in watercolors. The background will be painted blue and green (shade) which are the complements of the color on the elephants. This will mat to 16x20" and is painted on Arches 140# cold press paper. Photo ref is by pexels website used with permission

 

Recently came across these portrait sketches. They are included in my next book.

 

Book Material

This is another painting which will go into my 4th book. Photo ref from pexels website with permission. The entire background scenery and the reflections were done with the sponge. The sky and water were done with the large brush. The girl and her support were painted with the thin brush. This mats to 16x20" As usual (because I have lots of it in my studio) the paper is Arches 140lb.

Emma Watson completed

In the first water color painting, Emma is in her 20's.  In the second multi-media painting Emma is about 14-16.
