Pastels called to me this morning. Actually they have been calling for a few days. I only had a short while to work on this so a sketch for the Scavenger Hunt.
Number 5, 6 and 7 - bowl, animal and cup. This is on the wiped off piece of Pastelbord, 9 x 12 inches. I may work on it again to correct the bowl and make the whole thing lighter and brighter.
And the set up.
Later we went to a check up for Gene. All good, back in 6 months. I sketched with a Micron 03 in my small Canson regular paper sketchbook. We moved several times for lab, see the doctor and a shot, so my size on my hands is a bit off. It was fun to work in spurts.
Number 8 art supplies - sketchbook, pen and hands.
I have followed Julian Mero-Smith for years. A daily painter that probably started the popular movement a few years ago. Right now, Plein Air has taken over. I still follow several artists that continue to paint daily. I love these strawberries. They are in a basket, haven't seen those in years. You can look at more of his work by clicking on previous or next. His still life work is my favorite.

ReplyDeleteYou know how I love the soft look to the bear!!! This is so darn cute! Glad all went well at the doctor.
ReplyDeleteJulian's paintings are really great!
R's Rue, you are most welcome. You know best intentions, I meant to send it and kept putting it off. Sigh.... Thanks for taking time to stop by.
ReplyDeleteJoan, thank you soooo much. Julian's paintings always inspire.
