Still Life

Here is the final project for a drawing class I took at Otis College of Art and Design this past fall. (And what a great class it was!) Our assignment was to do a still life with at least 5 objects that relate to us in some way or another. It is 18x24 and in charcoal.

The ol' Shake and Bake

What is thisth mine eyes doth see? O! But it is William Shakesbeard!

A work mate of mine has a bust of the ol' Shakesalt himself so I thought I might as well put it to work and do some modeling for me! And a lovely time it was.

Pencil Drawrings






Rascally water color.



Working on my penmanship





And of course, blind contour.

Yargh, it be Water Color.

This past Saturday I attended a wonderful little Watercolor Workshop that was presented by Nathan Fowkes (wow, his work is amazing. Great teacher, too.)

Real fun stuff, but I'll tell you what - it ain't easy breaking that horse. So I've got my work cut out for me.

This first one here is what I did in class. The next one is a quick sketch I did at sunset Sunday night.

Vasquez Rocks Studies

I intended to do more than studies but with a scant water supply, lack of sunblock, and the wind blowing something fierce, my time was cut short. But heed this, oh Rocks of Vazquez... I shall return! And when I do, I will be ready....
