"Watered World" WIP

 Because of having problems with "Morals" in thinking in terms of light out of darkness, have put it aside for awhile and am on this, a 30"x20" colored ink on foamboard painting...

 am using crow quill nibs and prussian blue acrylic ink for the grisaille...

"Morals" - WIP

 Am beginning an experiment - am going to try to imitate scratchboard and do a rendering in white acrylic ink on black foamboard...  It is to be a still life of shoulder bags...  the board is 40"x32", tho the finished work may have the board trimmed some - will see...  it will be a slow working, as am adding light from darkness, so to speak, rather than the usual forming from the dark, and this means an inversion of how to apply - but think as get used to it, will improve on the amount of progress at a time...

when more is done, a better, non-glaring, photo will be taken...

"Solstice" - 8

And is now finished..........

"Solstice" - 7

and am getting to the end...   one more session and think it will be finished...

"Solstice" - 6

Getting into the second panel of the back wall... as can be seen, working upside down, not as viewed here...

"Solstice" - 5

and am back at this, having been interrupted a few times with other matters, including getting my old pc back, with the photos, but without, for now, the documents and bookmarks - so been spending time trying to remember as many of the latter as can...

as can be guessed, this is actually being worked on upside down, not as seen here...  antelope brown with crow quill nib...

"Solstice" - 4

all but the back wall is now done - scarlet on the floral and berries, antelope brown on the shelf and under, white added to floral, and emerald green layered over the sap green on the xmas cactus leaves... the holly leaves remain just sap green...

"Solstice" - 3

having finally finished the bowl, am in the midst of glazing the colors - raw sienna and sepia on the stick, and emerald green on the leaves... other overlays will be added after these dry...

 Temple Terrace Arts Festival last weekend...  no sales, but plenty of interest....

"Solstice" - 2

Just have the rest of the bowl to finish and glaze coloring can begin...

"Solstice" - 1

 New work in progress - this being an experiment of using the acrylic paint as the medium instead of the acrylic inks, but still using the pens and nibs...  the color is pthalo blue...

"Binding Curve" - 6a

a better, sharper, photo..........

"Binding Curve" - 6

I see forgot to add this finished photo to here...

"Binding Curve" - 5

"Binding Curve" - 4

 Rainy day, so loads of work done...

light green, antelope brown, emerald green,

 lemon yellow, red earth, sap green,

and process cyan.....

"Binding Curve" - 3

and this is the finished and fixed grisaille - now to glaze the colors on.........

"Binding Curve" - 2

finished the grisaille, tho with a bit more there than intended, so having to work out a 'save', as seen in the penciling....

"Binding Curve" - 1

further work on the grisaille...........

"Binding Curve" - WIP

have begun another - 14"x9" - grisaille in progress, prussian blue acrylic ink...

"Au Paired" - finished

decided to just color the wood grain using the antelope brown, letting the differential of contrast bring it all out yet not distracting from the 'main event'.........
