  • Elderly Man Graphite Portrait

    Elderly Man Graphite Portrait

    I have no idea who this man is. I have been trying to work on my portrait skills by working through a book called “Lessons in Masterful Portrait Drawing”. Its not that I have suddenly developed a desire to be a portraitist. I really don’t want to specialize in such a thing. However, I do…

  • Homer

    Second sketch from the book. A bust of Homer. Okay, his eyes are a little wonky. But, these are practices.

  • Elder Asian Man

    Elder Asian Man

    I’ve been trying to work on my portrait sketching skills again. Going through a book I have and trying my hand at the sketches in it. This was the first one I tried out of the book. I got close. But I still need to work on it.

    What better image is there for Spring than bunnies?

  • New Beginnings

    Its been quite a while since I have posted. Last year was rough. I was diagnosed with stage 3B cancer and spent months going through treatment. I am happy to say that the treatment was successful and the last 3 scans/tests have shown me to be cancer free! But, it took a lot out of…

  • White Poppies

    I came across a piece of art online of some flowers done on black paper. I’ve tried working on black paper with watercolor and only gotten muted results. But, when I looked the piece of artwork up, it said that she had done it using gouache. So, I gave it another try and I think…
