Just before I tossed them in the mailbox. Off they fly.

Seems as if I am drawing a lot of birds lately. This is a 300# cp kilamanjaro postcard. One of the freebies we get at Cheap Joes classes in Boone.

Based on a wren photo I took out Mikes back window when I was in Raleigh.

Number two. Actually like this one better. I did a terrible ink sketch first and kept correcting it. Not getting better but decided to see how the wc pencils would work to cover the ink. Now my fav. Funny how things change.

Gel pen and white inktense pencil. Thought about digging out gouache but being lazy.

Drawn and colored mostly with watercolor pencils.

Off to life modeling in Aiken dropping this in the mail on the way.

How I left her at two hours. Still a lot to do like the drapery. Her eyes. A background of some kind.

A grisaille layer. Two hours not enough time but it is a start.

The sketch which I probably spent too long on.

Looking at her think I will shorten that left big toe. Looks HUGE. But will be easy to paint out.

Twenty minute pose. I actually like this one better but it could use a little more work.

Kate can hold a pose like a Champ and never move. They are always interesting.

six two minute gesture poses. they got better as u went along. they got better.
