| Horse by G. Seurat |
Came upon Georges Seurat drawings at MOMA, way back in 2007. His technique has influence my drawing ever since. Painterly drawings with subtle shadings of tones, indicating at the same time form, light & space; thru the use of conte crayon over texture paper.
These handmade watercolor paper has been sitting in my closet for 20 years. The texture is all wrong for my watercolor style. But the weave of the paper is just right for this conte drawing!
Many ways to draw farm animals. I learn this technique from the old masters. 
I lay down the shape of the animal on tinted paper. As you can see, black & white conte is well suited for indicating light & shadow of the forms of the cow.
Another contemplative meditation on the process of painting. After many days of endless grey, the sun finally show up!
Frosty Pink is the perfect name to describe this hue. The pink sunrise glow melts into different shades of browns, pretty quickly.
The days are so short that the light outside my window changes pretty fast.
Always a good idea to have some pre-mix colors for my nocturne... the winter landscape can be monotonous, but the sky can offer me endless color combination to play with.
Nothing too inspiring outside my window, just a lot of winter grey. My PARIS sketchbook always manage to cheer me up.
