Left Side, Sunny Morning, day 2
However one can get carried away…
I went back out to sand beach, thinking I needed just a short session to finish up yesterday’s drawing. Of course, the first thing I did was to erase about ninety percent of the drawing. Yeah, I don’t know either.
Pencil and Chalk, 12 x 18 inches on Canson board
It was a beautiful morning to be out on the beach pushing a pencil around. Tomorrow promises to provide more of the same and will find me out there finishing up this study.
Figure study, pencil, conte, 18 x 12 in.
A big drawing for me, 2 x 3 feet. I like this scale.
As the Crow Flies, pencil and chalk on toned paper, 24 x 36 in.
This study has been on and off the easel for months (with time out for winter). I’ve been contemplating bringing it up in scale on a large panel, 2 x 3 ft. The process of bringing it up in scale made me aware of some structural issues in the drawing that needed to be addressed before a big painting could proceed. Here then is the drawing in what I hope is its final state…
Hunter’s Cliff, graphite and Conte on toned board, 18 x 12 inches
As the Crow Flies, pencil and chalk on toned paper, 24 x 36 inches
This drawing has been slowly taking form in my studio. It’s needing about one more day of work to solidify the value structure. At any rate it’s a cool pose and I though that I’d share it now.
I’ll get a better photo of this drawing soon, I swear to it!
EDIT:– There you go!
Flying in… Graphite and pastel on toned paper
a symbol of Apollo in his role as god of prophecy, according to the Greeks. Um, OK.
