Cardinal in Color Pencil


Last night was my final color pencil class at Laguna Gloria with Pat Falconer. I painted a  cardinal with rather abstracted leaves behind him. Not as successful as my painted bunting from last week's class but still a decent effort. Again  this is color pencil that has been  "washed"over with a q-tip dipped in Gamisol. Then additional layers of color over those basic  washes. I think I need to build up a little more color on this one still. Pat is a great teacher and she is very encouraging to each student to develop their own style.


Tonight Robert and I are going to the Cordovan Art School Student Art Show in Round Rock at the Wingate Hotel at IH 35  at  Hwy 79. I have entered 2 pieces - my  painted bunting in pastel and my water color Georgia O'Keeffe-style  red poppy.  I will post pictures after the show.
