Contour Characters

 

SOLD

I really focused on the model/fellow artist, and not on my paper, for these contour characters drawn during our Zoom Portrait Session. Sometimes I add a splash of burnt sienna for warmth and some cool purple for darks. For the last one, I decided to leave it alone. I love the mirror behind her. Here's a pic of the awesome Lyra 6B graphite stick. I've been 'into' lately. It's nice and chunky! ; )

$50 - 5x7" painting with 8x10" mat.

I painted these motorcycles on site with my paint box on my lap. They caught my attention as they sat there, all in a row, waiting for me to paint their portraits.

follow me home

Using the photo reference from Terry Miura's Challenge, I splashed watercolour onto paper, let it dry, then added the pen contour drawing. I usually draw first and paint second, so this was quite a refreshing change.

While drawing this content couple, I felt they were very at ease, relaxed and happy with each other. I was also thinking about shadows...
