Indonesian Man

12x5 mixed media on Grumbacher 140 lb cold press wc paper done last weekend for another timed WetCanvas event; ref courtesy Dewi Saputra. I used STA Lictin ink 0.3 pen to sketch him over a used paper sheet that had markings of all media on it. His face was not to my liking so I put white gesso over it, then re-sketched and painted with gouache and some watercolor. The "belt" was not part of his dark blue shirt (they dye their clothes this color) but is part of the original paper I painted around that now goes with the background. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

Patterned Shirt ~ Day 28 #30Faces30Days

11x8.5 watercolor and ink line (Lictin 0.3 pen) finished today along with Day 29's ink portrait.  Only one left after that and the 30 day challenge is over.  Today's was to practice pattern design and this guy's shirt was a tropical beauty.
