Feeling Light Headed

Happy Halloween!

Acrylic, approx. 9"x8" on Canson cold pressed watercolor paper.

The WDE was on a Halloween theme this week. Dana was the gracious hostess.

I first put the drawing on the paper then applied many wet washes of acrylic, often encouraging runs and blends by spritzing with water. Sometimes a blow dryer was used between washes.

I tried to reach a balance between detail and suggestion.

It was a blast to try some experimentation.

Bustin' Loose

Close ups

Acrylic on 5x7 hardboard.

Bustin' loose is a rodeo term that refers to the roper...It can also refer to how I felt about doing this painting.

For a change, I didn't gesso the support as I normally do, so the surface was pretty smooth. I started it with colorful random washes...watching how they swirled and puddled on the fairly slick surface. I applied thicker acrylics in some select areas.
I also used a black Faber-Castell Pitt artist pen.
This technique was very freeing and I enjoyed it!

Fab Four

This is mixed media. Acrylic washes used as watercolor...Tombow and Pitt Pens...color pencil

This is my contribution to Liz Holm's Flying Moleskin book. Her theme is portraits. I decided to attempt an illustration of the Beatles..the Fab Four. I like doing star portraits because they are so recognizable. I enjoyed drawing stars from the movie mags as a youngster.

I tried to take the attitude of an illustrator for this one because I am fascinated by their work. I wanted to keep the colors more inventive as opposed to realism.

Northern Flicker

Close ups

Mixed media on a 7x5 hardboard.

I used thin acrylic washes of ultr. blue, burnt sienna, and sap green--Tombow brush pen--Pitt Pen--and a touch of colored pencil.

I tried to play the realism of the bird against an abstract background. I liked how the acrylic washes flowed and beaded up to make interesting formations. The action of the thin acrylic upon the smooth gessoed hardboard was what really held my interest.

I just love painting birds. I had fun with it.

This is my submission to the WDE at Wet Canvas. The image was graciously supplied by Jeanette.

This is my entry into Adebanji's book. His theme is the Homeless and the Poor.

We are participating in a group called "The Flying Moleskins". Each member has their own sketch book. He/she makes a drawing and sends the book to the next artist. Get ready, Vern...here it comes.

My Ohio county has around 8oo homeless. God loves the unlovable.
