This drawing was created using a 1 inch design rotated one turn clock wise. I like doing these types of drawings. When the 1 inch design is made one never knows what happy surprises will happen when it is put in a larger composition.

watercolor landscapes

I created these watercolor landscapes a few years ago. They are only about 4X51/2 inches. I was inspired by the Kansas landscape in the spring.

I finished this deer in early January. It was started in the summer of 2006. I started this drawing by making an gray scale under drawing and then I started to apply color. Working from light to dark. This drawing is 11X14 inches made with colored pencil.

flowers

I draw these three types of flowers when I have creative block. These are drawn useing pastels on color-aid paper.

These paintings were made using a palette of only the primary colors(red, yellow, blue). To get the greens, oranges, and violets I mixed the paints on the canvas. I found mixing the paint on the canvas works better than mixing it on the palette.

12x12 pastel

This draw is on a heavy watercolor paper. I made an underdrawing with my pastels. At this point I'm not very carefull. I'm just getting pigment on the paper. During this process I usually do the underdrawing in complementary colors to what I want the final product to be, but this time I used the final colors. Once the pigment is on the paper I go over it with rubbing alcohol. This makes a wash on the paper. Once the paper is dry I'm able to start on the final drawing.

On these drawing I'm using a pastel paper. I add pigment to the paper then I use colorshapers to blend the pigments together. The red earth drawing is still a work in progress.
