More of My Current WIP




As you can see, I have begun the tedious (but enjoyable) process of working on the bedding.  Again, I am trying to use the paper as the mid-tone, but it's not always possible to do considering all the color in this comforter.

Sometimes, as an artist, you just connect with a piece you are working on more than others; this is one of those pieces.  I'm not sure if it's the composition, the color, my paper choice, my medium choice or the fact that the model is my grandson.  Or, perhaps, all of the above.  Anyway, I feel this one is going to be one of my favorites.  If I do not mess it up!

New WIP - Mac Sleeping




This is a new colored pencil piece I have been working on recently.  It measures 16 x 20" and is on Mi Teints gray paper.  It is an image of my grandson I took recently while he was napping at my house.  

My goal with this piece is to work so that the grey paper stays the mid-tone and shows through.  Hopefully, I will be able to resist drawing on every single inch of this paper and stay true to my goal.

I will continue to post more pictures of this piece as it progresses.
