What's on my easel right now, (work in progress.)

Working a bit larger this time, nearly quadruple the size I normally do so stay tuned to see the drawing finished!

This is still mostly at a block in or lay in stage, just working out placements, design, and just making sure everything makes sense before I move forward.

I love the silver glow from pencils when the drawing is all completed.

Never press! This is usually what I recommend to my students as well as to myself, but when you are finally sure of your marks, sure of where the eyes go, the lips, them by all means...press.

Finally finished! " Nocturne in Green" graphite, watercolor, gouache on paper with 24k Gold. Available.

I'll be making prints of her in the coming months along with a few others!

Some parts had to be completely redone... frustrating is just the beginning of it!

Does anyone have any interesting pattern or decorative art books they recommend?

Pencil and watercolor...Today I was actually going to post something completely different, but what I was working on has to be completely redone...from scratch!

It can be painful to find mistakes at a later stage in a project. For me the hardest part is maintaining enthusiasm while doing something over for the second time. It's a mental exercise that's for certain!

Do you do it all over again when you find unfixable mistakes in your paintings or do you leave it and start something new?
