Tex

8.5x5.5 ink with STA 0.1 pen sketched this morning with Tex, a live model, in about 15 minutes then watercolor added once back in studio. Note the coyote leg hanging from his frontiersman fur hat. This was done on Masters sketchbook paper. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

Contour Line Drawing

Here's a contour line drawing on the back of a failed tulips painting on Arches 140 cold press paper, 22x15. I used a black 01 Pigma Micron pen and began at the top of my head working all around, never letting up on the pen, as you're supposed to do with these type drawings. It is a bit more freer than trying to capture a photorealistic image. I'll add texture next, let that dry, then stamping, painting, adding and subtracting areas until it starts to look like a woman holding her purse. The bleed-over of colors from the tulips does not bother me and this will be a fun adventure in preparation for my 23 April class "Funtastic Figures" here in Big Spring. So stay tuned!
