Color Added

First round of color added. Man, I hate working this big. Maybe it is the size or that this is more complicated than my usual pieces, but I had no joy working on this.

Inked

Got the inking done tonight.

Taking my time

For the first time I am working at a full sheet of watercolor paper. 22" x 30". This is big for me as I usually cut the sheet in half or quarters. I'm also doing a complicated piece for me. Four people in it. In the past I have had trouble making multiple people looking proportionately right with each other. So I have been taking my time with this piece.

I made the initial drawing, then let it sit over night. The next day with a fresh eye I looked it over and found a bunch of mistakes. Made the changes and let it sit over night again. And so on. It is almost there. I don't like the arm on the guy on the right so I need to change it, but I think the rest is right on now.

Green Beans Three

Done, and none too soon. The beans were worthless as reference towards the end as they had shriveled far to much.

Oops

I started my latest of the kitchen series sometime last week. I am doing snap peas. I guess I waited too long between sittings as my snap peas are shriveling up.

I finally started my own web site. Go check it out randycarboni.com

Onions Three

All done with the second pice in my kitchen series of four. I bought snap peas for piece three. My wife is under strict orders not to cook them.

Onions!!!

I was thinking of the old Little Rascals show when they did Romeo and Juliet and Alfalfa had been eating onions. But I digress. This is the start of part two of my four part kitchen series. The tomatoes being one.

Tomatoes Three

Here is it al done.

Tomatoes

I was shopping over the weekend and liked the look of the vine ripened tomatoes. Even better, a good still life subject.

Art Exchange

Have have been in an art exchange over at wetcanvas. 15 people sign up exchange mini art with each other. I have not been posting my art here as it is suppose to be kept under wraps until the person receives their art. A couple of received mine so I will stat posting.

The first image is the inking of all 14 of mine. Followed by the watercolor portion. The next two are the ones that have been received so far.

Viny

The watercolor portion of this piece is done. On a side note, I meet with Susi at Susi Laura Massage Therapy today. They are going to feature my art for the next three months. I will be hanging my work this coming weekend. I am very excited as this is the first time I will be doing anything like this.

Back to normal

Well I am back to my normal venue. This is from a photo from our yard. It is some vines and beans growing on our arbor.

It's back

I got swamped at work last week and couldn't get to my daily sketch. Well today starts a new week. So far so good. This one is in charcoal.

Rings revisited

I did some more work on this piece. I still don't like it, but I had fun doing it. I just don't have the vision for this type of work.
