Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Twenty-Seven: Enter Stage Right
See T'Hed Twenty-Six for more on this process... The landscape is quiet, almost dead, except for the oppression of the floating red blocks; then our protagonist decides to enter the scene... maybe it is directed to do so and maybe it Sid compelled to do so... either way, it demonstrates a timid entry... Stay tuned … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Twenty-Seven: Enter Stage Right
Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Twenty-Six: The Sore Thumb
See T'hed Twenty-Five for more on this series Full disclosure: I didn't realize it was so long since I did this one... and the ones that lead up to new ones done this past week. I got sidetracked by teaching and seeing my students' artworks grow. I also abandoned the large acrylic painting I was … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Twenty-Six: The Sore Thumb
Painting out an Inspiration – T’Hed: Pencil outline
This past week I decided it was time... let me rephrase that; I decided I needed to start making some art and the T'Hed project needed to get started. In my mind, I'm still experimenting with materials and design, so I am allowing myself to to take impulsive risks and then change them as I … Continue reading Painting out an Inspiration – T’Hed: Pencil outline
Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Nineteen
It's been a couple of weeks since I made any art, because I've been trying to get ready for the new semester of teaching, but that is a whole different topic for another post... let's talk inspiration for this development instead.

I feel the two-face arrangement feels the best, but that is always changing for me... arg and yay! I felt a preoccupation with the … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Eighteen
Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Seventeen
See T'Hed Sixteen for previous progressions... This one was drawn on a wonderfully rich, Sienna-orange paper that I felt could allow for some fun contrasts with oil pastels... I didn't want to hide the paper, so I chose to make fewer and bigger faces that it could shine through with. I also felt I could … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Seventeen
Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Sixteen
See T'Hed Fifteen for previous progressions... As mentioned in the previous post, I wanted a more monochrome feel to it and was a little worried about what using black would do to the visibility of the lines of the drawing... As it turns out, needn't have worried, as the lines jump out... especially since I … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Sixteen
Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Fifteen
See T'Hed Fourteen for previous progressions... I deviated on composition for this one, because I was getting concerned about stagnation... I felt the need to push the colours and focused on complementary ones for the background... the result feels a little too simple for the feeling I got from the charcoal sketch. I feel as … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Fifteen
Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Fourteen
See T'Hed Thirteen for previous progressions For starters let me say that I thought I would be moving onto another canvas for future explorations and I had found a pile of interesting card stock to play with, but while contemplating other media to draw with, I found another five sheets of the same paper I've … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Fourteen
