Cigarette Cowboy

10x8 watercolor using White Nights paints on Canson 117 lb cold press paper. Done the last week of August while on a trip, I used a movie still of Lee Van Cleef. This doesn't resemble him much but it was a challenge to his face and hat. Usually he played an outlaw and I was mesmerized by his eyes. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026

Clint Eastwood as the Outlaw Josey Wales

5.25x8.25 charcoal sketch today on junk journal page that had been gessoed.  I used Distress Ink spray by Tim Holtz mixed with water and a large brush to weather the page.  This is another in my outlaw series of notorious wild west guys whether in movies or real life.  As Clint Eastwood has been an idol of mine since watching him portray Rowdy Yates in Rawhide and seeing all his movies, he was the natural favorite choice.
