Here are a few things from yesterday's drawing attempts. The one at the top with all the colors was one I did using a Caran d'Ache set of Oliver Jeffers colored pencils from Jerry's Artarama. There are 10 pencils in the set and they aren't really colors that I would necessarily associate with a portrait, but I decided to try using different colors than usual. I LOVE the colors and I had such a good time with them even though I might have gone a bit over the edge.
The ink drawings are two-minute life drawings and I don't really know what I was trying to do in the one on the left, but I look at it and smile. I guess I was using too much water with the ink - my pen was an Itoya Calligraphy Doubleheader. They are just great. Not made anymore, I fear, because I have not been able to find them anywhere but Amazon, and they don't have many left, so I laid in a supply!
For the rest of the art day, I painted two 7 x 5" two-stepper pieces in oil and left them alone until tomorrow to see if I still love them. I guess so much for my watercolor Wednesday, but it will return one Wednesday soon.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!
