Sketching outside.................

Today was a beautiful day. I sat outside on the deck with my paint box and sketching book. I had already drawn most of the pictures and this was a perfect day to fill them in. Good light.
Well they will be fiddled with from now till I close up this book but you can take a peek as they are now......I will go back through the pages and add some words as they come to me.


Sometimes I get an idea from other blogs, sometimes from books and some just come to me.

some things I just can't explain. (above) This little lady is way too stiff, but not as bad as she started out, I must read up a bit on this technique. I could not get her to relax.

Pouting cherub

Flowers


More faces and stuff

Practice with eyes

More stuff

more birds and flowers, never get tired of them

unfinished

more sunflowers

nearly done

Animals always a great subject for me, now to get them lifelike without overdoing it


That is not easy, some people can just make them live with just the colour and mix of the paint. I am not there yet

more critters

Frogs from a book I have..........

Unfinished

and lastly

............so thats that.
By the way, that is hay, not his rocket boosters
