ONIONS

For this month's Rookie Painter challenge. I sketched the out line with a home made bamboo pen dipped in water soluble black ink and then used coloured inks.

8"x12"

Another Still Life

I enjoyed the last challenge, so I decided to set up my own still life using a vase made by the monks on Caldy Island.

Acrylic on paper.  8"x12"

Jug and Peaches

The current Paint and Draw Challenge. Acrylic on paper, 8"x12".        I used ultramarine, alizarin crimson and a touch of burnt sienna to make the black. I limited my palette to three other colours --- cadmium yellow light, titanium white and light green, all made by Liquitex.

A Pastel Landscape

This is my interpretation of the A Day Not Wasted June challenge. Soft pastel on white Pastelmat. 16"x12"

Squirrels

The latest Paint and Draw Challenge . Black pen (edding 1800 profipen 0.1 and 0.3) on white card, 10"x7".
 I find trying to make the card appear white very difficult.

The red squirrel was drawn a couple of years ago.

Sepia pen on white paper, 8"x8.5"

Red Winged Blackbird

This is in response to the current Paint and Draw Challenge. I used Wolffe's Carbon Pencils on smooth paper. 5"x7"

Dog Portraits

I have joined another art challenge A Day Not Wasted and this was the April project. I used pastel pencils on Pastelmat card. Size 6"x7".

Dog portraiture is my favourite subject. Here are some of my previous paintings:
