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
Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Twelve
See T'Hed Eleven for previous progressions... Starting with some blue, textured drawing stock, I needed to decide course, material, and shapes... as well as volume (how many faces...). I considered what colours play off the blue the best... I wanted a yellow sky and dark (brown) ground so the faces could pop if they remained … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Twelve

See T'Hed Ten for previous progressions... Note: I am repeating the same words as yesterday, as I feel they are relevant here and both drawings were done at the same time. I fell upon a couple of sheets of a darker grey paper. I looked at them for a while and wondered if I should … Continue reading working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Eleven

See T'Hed Nine for previous progressions... I fell upon a couple of sheets of a darker grey paper. I looked at them for a while and wondered if I should draw in only black charcoal or add colours... I saw the outcomes clearly in my mind and I didn't feel the colours, but perhaps I'd … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Ten
Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Eight
See T'Hed Seven for previous progressions... Staring at some slate grey drawing paper I was sure I'd like to use the charcoals again, but I needed something different... some other texture to play with. I decided on gouache. I started with painting in the gouache background... unblended and straight pigments. I really love how this … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Eight

See T'Hed Five for previous explorations... It's been a couple of days since the last drawing and I'm feeling stressed out! Maybe it's the news of Covid flaring up all over the place, maybe it's that I need to redo some work for University and just don't feel like it, but I know I need … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Six

See T'Hed Four for previous progressions... As written yesterday: I've shifted to a thick, textured drawing paper. This is a creme coloured paper. I found some tonal Conte & charcoal sticks to play with and was uncertain about the blending, or to keep it messy. Full disclosure: I pulled my back again and it is … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Five

See T'Hed Three for earlier progressions I've shifted to a thick, textured drawing paper. This is a creme coloured paper. I found some tonal Conte & charcoal sticks to play with and was uncertain about the blending, or to keep it messy. Full disclosure: I pulled my back again and it is making siting uncomfortable. … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Four
Working Out an Inspiration – T’Hed Two
See T'Hed One for earlier steps... This second sketch started with gauche on watercolour paper. I added medium charcoal as an outline and texture. The gouache I have are all primary colours and I mix them right on the pigment pucks. I paint wet on wet and let the pigments bleed as they want. It … Continue reading Working Out an Inspiration – T’Hed Two

Not my artwork. I don't know who it is. I Came across this image a few months ago and saved it as a screenshot then filed it away in my ideas folder. Then I did what I do with so many images I keep... I forgot about it. Unfortunately I didn't save it with the … Continue reading Working Out an Inspiration – T’Hed One
