Sketchbook Sketching

Here are a couple of pages from my sketchbook. I'm doing a series of sketches of a tree in the backyard that's home to two squirrels. I had previously thought that they lived in a hollow in the trunk, but recently discovered that they enter and leave through a hole in one of the branches.

From Wikipedia:

While the dragon has historically served as China's national emblem, in recent decades the Giant Panda has also served as an emblem for the country. Its image appears on a large number of modern Chinese commemorative silver, gold, and platinum coins.

Coyote Acrylic Painting ACEO

Sold


Hot off the board, this is one of two paintings just finished.

From Wikipedia:

Unlike its cousin the Gray Wolf, which is Eurasian in origin, the coyote evolved in North America alongside the Dire Wolf. Unlike the wolf, the coyote's range has expanded in the wake of human civilization, and readily reproduces in metropolitan areas. It is thought by certain experts that the coyote's North American origin may account for its greater adaptability than the wolf, due to North America's greater prehistoric predation pressures.

Nuthatch Bird Painting

Here's another bird painting- a nuthatch looking at lunch. This isn't a great scan, so sorry about the blurriness.

Parrot Painting

Happy New Year! I thought I would start off 2009 with a painting. This was part of a series of bird paintings- all acrylic on canvas. I think the size on this was 16" x 20". This was when I was painting a lot in acrylics. With acrylics, I would often paint backgrounds with the airbrush (blending acrylics over a large area can be maddening).

The parrot was painted with thin layers applied traditionally with the brush, alternating every so often with transparent color applied with the airbrush. I continued to alternate brushwork and airbrush glazing to build up the form and details.

Indian on Horseback Digital Speedpainting

A speedpainting refers to a digital painting that is painted within a very limited timeframe. This technique is great for building speed and fluency in digital media and is similar to the alla prima techique in oils, in which the painting is started without a sketch or underpainting and you try to make every stroke count.

Painted in Photoshop.

I've had this toned Canson paper sitting in the studio forever- several sheets of it in fact- and thought it would be a good paper to use for these wildlife drawings. The black and white charcoal and Venetian red pencil on toned paper is a technique I've been wanting to explore. It's usually used for drawings of humans, but works well with animals too.

ACEO Lion Sketch

I'll probably be trying my hand at wildlife painting, so look out for a lion painting in oil. I'll be painting that and other paintings larger, most likely. I'm thinking about painting the lion on 9" x 12" canvas panel. Here in the studio there is a panel that has been gessoed and toned with burnt umber that I just realized would be perfect for a lion portrait.
