This is 5 x 7 and was done for the latest Scavenger Hunt on WetCanvas. I decided to do an acatual painting of the shoes rather than just a sketch. Shoes are a challenge with all the shading on them.
Hi Joan!! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! Don't you loved those guys when they bring us 'sketch' material!!! BEAUTIFUL bouquet -- luscious ice cream, and those shoes are outstanding!!! Shoes are indeed a challenge with all those wee tones and scratches and details ... you've done a marvelous job on all of these!! BRAVA!
Lin - Thanks so much! Now that I haven't been out to do plein airs, I find myself doing all kinds of subjects. Yes, I appeciated the "sketch" material from Jerry.
I have always participated in the visual arts including watercolors, drawing and sketching, pen and ink, and photography. Since retiring from teaching I have devoted much of my time to watercolors, sometimes combining them with pen and ink or collage.
Watercolor is the perfect medium to capture the beauty that surrounds us. I love to travel, and sketch and paint wherever I go. Painting, especially on location, captures the spirit and life of the subject. I hope to continue doing that for a long time to come.
