a friendly face

$60 -8x10" original watercolour painting.

Lately, I've been missing watercolour. The look is so light and fresh. So, here's today's daily painting.

#OneWeek100People2019 Challenge

The challenge started today! So, off I went to life drawing class with pencil in hand.

I always try to capture one good little pencil portrait for my sketchbook. 

Below are some gesture drawings. I added the artists... (I have to get to 100 somehow!)

The challenge was started by Marc Taro Holmes, a wonderful fellow urban sketcher and awesome artist. Below are a few of the 2 minute gestures. 

Anyone can join in the fun. Give it a go, see the facebook page and hashtag it #OneWeek100People2018 

That's 22 people sketches. (Let's agree that drawing the same person counts.)

Viridian Opera

Well, this one doesn't look anything like the model... but I sure had fun messing around with a green and pink palette. I used Viridian and Opera which make a lovely purple. I added dashes of Cadmium Red just to warm it up a bit.

$90 - 9x12"watercolour on 90lb paper.

BJ's red hat

Another Tuesday night portrait session. I'm very happy with the likeness to BJ in this one. I usually paint on an 8"x10" paper, but last night I used 14"x18" and a big brush, which was way more fun.
