December 16, 2018 – Margaret McCarthy Hunt Art

A Harley Sportster drawn with the Namiki Fude. Love the action in this. All the streaks on the left were where I was covering up that I made the body too long and then I shortened it. Who knew it would make it looks like it was ready to zoom down the road on a gorgeous afternoon??

Being in another town always makes me want to draw. So why doesn’t Augusta inspire me?!

Maybe I need someone to show me the town I have lived in so long with new eyes?! Or make a New Years resolution to go draw augusta at least once a week?!

Hat progress. Coming along. Already started the French knots on it. Want it in the mail tomorrow.

Margaret whose planning a few jillion more French knots and some painting as soon as I get this finished. Xoxox

Something a little different. An experiment.

First break nary a pencil line anywhere

I painted the shape of Emily before I used one pencil line.

Second break. Sorry for the terrible photo. Light is bad in that room.

I did finally break down and use a water soluble pencil at the last break. And then painted some more.

Tried to keep the edges soft but see. I hardened up the outside of her right arm. Oops.

Somehow I didn’t notice she has this tiny tiny had til almost done with the painting. Oppsey again. Her had was almost as big as her face. Who woulda thunk but that’s what it measured.

Lots I like about the painting. All the delicious flesh and pink tones. Like her hair. Lost edges in it are great.
