Mum in Vine Charcoal Day9


This is a charcoal drawing that I have done from the Mums that are still living! Vine charcoal is rather difficult to work with because it is rather transient, but I love the softness of the medium. This drawing is a small drawing about 11X14. There is only so much working a drawing like this can take before the fibers of the paper are saturated. I am working on a multi-media paper that is of good quality. I won't have a painting today because I am starting a new one and it may take several days.

Great drawing. I like the bird's eye perspective, and the hand that you did a couple days before it, amazing. Hands have always been challenging for me. Thank You for adding me to your blog list.

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
