New materials and technique WIP

Been reading about using colored pencils on drafting film. Whoa! It's like butter... This is 9" x9" and is a WIP. Just thought I would share.

The surface is divine.

Sewanee

Okay. One more. Sorta' into an animal frenzy at the moment before I figure out what's "the next big thing".



12" x 16' soft pastel.

Quincy Man

This is Quincy. The Papillion. Happiest dog in the world. I wanted to try out a new sample of the Richeson pastel paper. The background was a rust color, a perfect fit for the Man.
Only 5" x 7". Soft Pastels.

My Eyes Adore You

This is Mudball, our standard poodle who has since passed on. A large crazy gal, that wasn't into haircuts. This pastel on velour, 14" x 13".

Dining In Two

I did this subject last year in oil, and wanted to try it in pastel. A departure from my usual approach, with lots of multi-color hatch work to achieve color and tone. 12" x 11".

And as I notice now, I seem to have a lower right corner that needs some pastel!

The Trace

The Natchez Trace Parkway, makes its way through Tennessee to Mississippi and is just 'down the road a piece'.

Pastel 17 x 10".

The Loveless Motel

Perhaps one of the most famous places to eat in Nashville, TN. Remember, those state highway motel motor courts, with all the little separate buildings in a semi-circle, each with a motel room inside? This restaurant remains and serves the best biscuits, preserves, and country ham.
