Poor soaked birds are flocking to the feeders on the back porch. I counted more than 20 finches six cardinals 2-4 doves chickadees wrens and titmice plus a blue jay or two. I could tell how many of they wore name tags. lol.
Drawn in a small alpha stillman and birn with an XF sepia pitt pen which barely smears at all despite my efforts.
Poor soaked finches out the den door
I couldn’t resist coloring the Cardinals for just a tiny pop of color. They are such gorgeous birds especially when they fluff up to stay warm on cold wet days. I colored them with watercolor pencils.
Margaret who turned the heel on her sock and is sliding toward the toe on this rainy day. Xoxoxo
About the eye brow. It was flat. She has great eyebrows with arches not flat ones. Now they are arched.
Here’s how she looked about ten minutes ago. That’s about how long it took to make the changes.
really like this one a lot. They were drawn with a general charcoal pencil Liked drawing with it much better.
I decided I had really messed her face up and decided to lift a half inch strip down her face as delineated by the pencil mark.
I do really like her hands. Maybe I should just paint hands.
I painted this with my tiny whiskey painters box and a water brush. The paint box was great the water brush not so much.
And Gypsy. Two of my favorites that I have painted recently.
I stood on the side of Highway 64 on a bright cool day to draw the cabin which was so cheery and bright in its field. Not always easy to find a place to draw on the busy windy mountain road.
Really like his hand.
