July 14, 2023 – Margaret McCarthy Hunt Art

Yesterday’s @pencils4tea fast sketches. 13 in an hour. So much fun. Can’t wait til mondays @drawing_is_free.org session. Charcoal pencil and watercolor in my superaquabee.

As always the hour flew by @pencils4tea

We memorialized Lesleys freshly broken arm. Ouch

Thanks Kirsty & Jane, it was fun! Live from Engand i think?! Always fun and challenging.

That camera pose oh my! And in three minutes no less. 😵‍💫😂

Live every Th @1 pm EST on Zoom. Free event!! 2-5 minute poses set to music. Lasts abt an hour. Time just flies during the hour.

Loved Mollys pose but I might have to titivate it. Aka make small changed. Hate the smear of quin rose on her cheek.

Four minutes for this. Seriously?! Great pose. Loved her expression.

Really like the Generals charcoal pencil drawing w a shot of watercolors over it.

Liz always turns out so well. Five minutes was too long. Had to squelch my urge go titivate this one.

Used only two brushes a 1 1/2” flat cheap joes golden taklon and a 3/8” dagger striper from masters touch.

Sweet pose and yes sometimes u get cauliflowers. Oh well right?

Some of my fav artists like Don Andrews and Skip Lawrence tend to use alot of flats and oh my gosh they are fast and do the job well. Maggies hair was done in 1 swoosh of the1 1/2” flat.

Jane.
I think a formidable woman. Not that I have ever met her. Shes in England somewhere.

DS quin burnt orange and quin rose, Cheap joes andrews Turquoise, cj yellow ochre, cj burnt umber, cj cerulean, cj cobalt , cj alizarin, and cj hookers green, Lukas Cad Yellow, m graham cobalt and ultramarine watercolors, 5×8” superaquabee sketchbook

Hmm oh well they cant all be perfect right?! Her overalls could use a swoosh of black.

I do love the mix of DS quin burnt orange and with a dab of quin rose for the skin tones. Works on the very pale or people of color like Liz. Add alot of water and u get a light skin tone like on the right of Mikalas face.
