This particular time I tried to pull the color from the tin ceiling tiles. They were this exact color red. Thank you, Joe

Mostly finished but I now have some ideas of what more I want to do with this. This is charcoal.

Did you do it on canvas?

[InkedAngel]

Yeah....it's 24x48 watercolor canvas. I did some research on that canvas and it actually doesn't accept watercolor well. I had already bought it so I decided to play with charcoal instead since I haven't done that in a while. I sprayed it with a matte finish after to seal it but am thinking of putting some acrylic over it in a thin wash. A total experiment so we'll see.

Hrm.... That changes the game a bit.

[InkedAngel]

How so?

[RW]

I haven't been drawing because what good is it in a sketch pad or on flat paper? I wanted to go bigger and now that I know I can use canvas (why I didn't think of it in the first place is beyond me), I can start creating works for hanging.

[InkedAngel]

The watercolor canvas is much smoother if you want to do charcoal or pastels...also oil pencil. I really liked it vs. using a regular gessoed canvas for oil or acrylics. The texture is too rough unless you gesso it a few more times and sand it a bit. That would make for some unique textures but a lot of unnecessary work for drawing.

That's what threw me - the texture. I never thought of water colour canvas. I'll pick a few up and see how it goes.

Thanks.

I'm just curious, when you draw things like this - do you use real life examples? I like the density of the feathers, and how there are little bits poking up at the top. I'm just wondering about the process - I can't draw from imagination (well).

This one just drew from memory. I did look at several references for muscle and structure for the arm though. And....lots of hands...I suck at hands.

From memory! Very good. It's a really great picture. Very interesting. I love the binding, it's an interesting idea.

Thank you

It would if you suddenly lost about 300 pounds. Not that that will happen until your next dump.

Trying to get this Art thread kicking off again. Did my first painting/sketch paint on some pottery last week with my mother...you know trying to keep her mind active with her big C debilitating disease. The pottery was glazed and fired so should be able to take a pic this weekend.
