Another iPad Drawing

This was a building in Fredericksburg Tx. I took the photo  in 2002.  Drawing on the iPad is a challenge but am keeping on. Still prefer my pen! 

The Colors of Cabo San Lucas

There were so much color in Cabo! It was such fun, and I got a lot of photos.  These poor chefs had a tiny place to cook.  Most everybody eats outside. We walked by this door every time we went back to where we were staying, and I would try to photo him cooking, and sometimes he would turn around, so I would walk on. The door was actually pink. NOT this bright but pink anyway.
This is done on a piece of watercolor paper with 2-3 coats of white gesso. Each coat painted in a different direction.  When you put the watercolor on it, it goes in the groves etc. and I love the effects. You can clean it off back to the white too if you need to. It will be 16x20 framed.

iPad Drawings

Ok. Call me crazy.  These are not great but a start. It is drawn on my iPad using my finger and stylus. 

It i NOT easy! The chef is my 4th drawing. It is using an app called Paper 53. 

It is fun but doesn't take the place of my pen and pencil!

The girl is 5th attempt

  

1947 Hudson

I was ask by a friend to do her husband's old 1947 Hudson Pick up for his Birthday. I never heard of Hudson pick ups! She sent some photos, and I searched online to see what they looked like. I am looking forward to seeing it after he is through restoring it. This is the way it looks now, or the way it was when he got it.  I wasn't sure how to do it, so I decided to negative paint the images in the background, and decided for future reference added the year. I know it will be beautiful when it is finished.

This Week's Sketches and Collages

I have been busy this week, with some sketches, and a couple of collages. The first one is done with a sketch and wash pencil. It is a 1947 Hudson Pick up.
The 2nd one is 'Ol Blue' and it was Kens Pick up for years.  He named it and it stuck. It is parked with all our equipment, and is grown up in weeds. It has a lot of memories for us.  Especially the kids. I sketched it with a fine tip Sharpie.
 The 3rd one is from a photo I took in Seattle on our way to the 'Locks'. It is pencil.
Cotton Collage is just a 5x7, I did for fun. The Wyoming Boot Collage was because I needed  something for the silent auction for my workshop in Wyoming so I collaged it onto a Wyoming map.  The last one is an old station wagon jeep called 'Prairie Rose'. Sketched with my Lamy fountain pen.  I took the photo in Fredericksburg in 2002. I have two more that I am saving back. Will post them soon.
