Warm Green

Today, I challenged myself to use two different colors and only one brush (a quarter-inch flat). It was difficult to decide how I would use my two colors. Would yellow be used for highlights - what about the white of the paper. Ultimately, I decided to just start laying down color and hope for the best. I really like the areas where the two colors mix together.

Tomorrow, I would like to try applying color directly to the page with the crayon while mixing it together with a different color wash. I should bring a larger brush with me.

Trying out a challenge to myself - to create "finished" pieces with a limited color palette on a consistent schedule. I am still working out the final guidelines. I think I would like to challenge myself to use a new texture in each piece as well. I've had this unfinished sketch in my sketchbook forever. Even though I'm not entirely happy with it - it feels great to finally have it done!

A Competent Profile

As I start to become more familiar with proportions and measurements for the various faces I attempt to draw, I am starting to wonder how to make a more complete portrait with my limited time. Do I stick to lines? Do I bring a brush and some ink? Which lines should I include? Which shapes are important to represent? Maybe this is a good time to look at the work other artists have done and try to work out some of their methods.
