Indian Con Water Color

"Indian Corn" Water Color

9" by 11 " 140lb paper

This is my water color study of the Indian corn still life. This is the last of the Indian Corn study. With all the traveling I have been doing, I slowed down on the art work. I have to think of a way to make my materials more portable and packable on airplanes. Guess I will have to pack less of something else, books? clothes?

I am very happy with the results of this water color. I like the bright colors I was able to achieve.

Indian Corn colored Pencil

"Indian Corn" Colored Pencil

9" by 12" 100 lb. paper

My colored pencil drawing of Indian corn, this exercise is from the "Colored Pencil Painting Bible". I really had fun with developing this work. You would really be surprise how long it took to build up the layers of colors. Indian corn really provides a wide range of colors.

My pen and ink drawing of the Indian Corn . I was very pleased with how this study came out. It took a lot of time to build up the layers of shade. I watered down some of the ink for the gray parts.

Indian Corn Pencil Drawing

"Indian Corn" Pencil Drawing

9" by 12 " 80lb paper

I have not been able to work on my art as much as I would like lately. I did this piece before Christmas. I really enjoyed working on this still life of Indian Corn. Each piece in this series took a lot of time, but was very enjoyable to work on. I was trying to depict the different colors you find on an ear of Indian corn.

This is my water color study of the nectarine still life. I was fairly pleased with the result. I was happy with the terry cloth dish towel in the back ground. The colored pencil study was over worked i think but I stopped in time with the water color.

Pen and Ink Nectarine

"Nectarine" Pen and Ink

9"12" 100 Lb. paper

My study of the nectarine still life in pen and ink. A nectarine has a mottled skin, it is not fuzzy like a peach and it is not shiny like an apple or pear. Just like with the pencil the pit and the hole were the pit was were the most challenging.
