Pear on a Branch-

This is a watercolor painting and watercolor pencil drawing that I did for the new Paint and Draw Together website. It is a great motivator, to paint from the same photo with other artists from all around the world. They then get to comment on your artwork as you can also comment on theirs.

This is from an online challenge called paintanddrawtogether.blogspot.com
We were given a photo and asked to paint a food magazine illustration. Hence the title of my post,  Mag (azine) Pie. This is a job I would love!  9"x 12"- $150

Little Red Headed Guy

I am still working on my portraits. I like working with watercolor pencils and a Niji water brush when doing portraits. They offer more control than the normal watercolors. I think of them as training wheels almost. I made a mistake by using a black pen for out- lining, oh well live and learn. N/A

Dean

This is a colored pencil sketch of my Father-in-Law who passed away this Spring. We will miss his positive attitude this Thanksgiving as we all gather together with my husband's family. He would be happy to know that his Bruins are doing so well this year.
The second one was achieved by wetting and blending the pencils. N/A

How Sweet It Is

So I'm taking a break from the portraits and finished this for the Monthly Sketch Project challenge. The original photo was from Chrissy Marie. Thank you Chrissy.

I used a water pen and watercolor pencils to do this. I think it will be a good medium to take with me when I travel.

I found this to fun and difficult at the same time. But that is the way to learn right?

Kay-1

This is my first attempt at a portrait of my sister,Kay. I used watercolor pencils. While it is not too bad it just doesn't capture the real her yet so I will keep trying. She is an artist too and she is supposed to be painting me. Can not wait to see it! N/A
