Lost Wagon on the Prairie

6x9 watercolor on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper painted a couple weeks ago using my wagon sketch I found in an old sketchbook. But no reference photo could be found so colors are imaginary of the lost wagon on the prairie. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith

Early 50s Chevy

5.5x8.5 watercolor and ink using Uniball Vision Elite pen on Masters sketchbook paper done over the weekend.  This old Chevy is slowly rusting away.  Our family had a similar one but before my time.

Red Christmas Truck

9x8.5 watercolor and ink (Pigma Micron 01 pen) on Canson 140 lb cold press paper that is yesterday's work. Such a dreary day with cold misty rain I had to find a cheerful subject and this truck in the snow fit the bill. White gouache was used when dry for splatter resembling snowflakes.  This work is now SOLD.

Bike sketch

11x8.5 ink sketch with Micron 05 pen on sketchbook as part of last month's Sketchbook Skool homework.  We were instructed to find an object with wheels and do that plus include crosshatching and other marks to show value changes.  I selected a bicycle as am quite fond of including them in my art and think this one turned out nicely, a cropped version only showing the front and handlebars.

Ride a Red Bike

22x30 watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press finished yesterday, a bicycle illustration with a basket of dahlias added for this vignette.  I used a 3" flat brush for the background of thalo yellow green to set off the reds.  I needed to paint dahlias for a WetCanvas contest so using a bike and basket for them was perfect..
