" DINNER'S HERE! " Colored Pencil 8x11

 

Now ... for the Artsy stuff!

I finally sent a submission into the Different Strokes From Different Folks blog and it is on the blog so that is exciting for me.  It was a very good experience for me to do and now I can't wait till the next challenge to start drawing or painting it.  The new image will be posted tonight. It is a good thing for me to try and paint/draw things that I would normally not do.  Also, it is so cool and a very good learning experience to see the same image done by myself and other Artist. 

Drawing of my son, Conner

Here is what I have so far but ... I will finish the hair, hat and I want to draw in some of his shirt. I will post a photo of the finished drawing when it is finished.  How many times did I type finished? It felt like a ton! LOL

I think I will also post the photo I worked from too! 

drawing of elderly man

During my drawing class on Friday, the teacher handed each student a magazine photo and told us to "DRAW IT". This elderly gent had the biggest, bushiest eyebrows ever! I spent about 20 minutes on the drawing before it was time to go. I had to return the picture but I really wanted to finish the drawing. He was an interesting looking man! Fun to draw the deep wrinkles.

Here is a 6X8 oil I did from a photo I took of the flags as we were leaving from a camp out at Lake LBJ. The storm was coming fast! It poured on us the night before. I slept inside my Nissan.

Coppini portrait group painting

This is my portrait I did at Coppini this past Thursday.  I could not believe how many people were there! LOADS! It was great to paint with all those great artist and to see the large turn-out! I think the secret is getting out.

Taylor - A drawing of my son

Taylor was looking down at his computer as I drew him.

drawing my Dog

Todays drawing class was very enjoyable.  I took my Dog to pose for us.  He did a great job! He is 15 so he is more then happy to lay there quietly. After we did a few 3 minute doggy drawings, we drew 2 other students and then she gave us a photo of a model to draw.  We were given 15 minutes for each drawing.
