This summer was busy and went by so fast! I didn’t get to painting and this month is unlikely to improve ( for good reasons). That said, here’s a pencil sketch of a criminal, a man in a hat and boots, and a wolf.

Spent the last two days priming boards and canvases. Prep to move my art beyond sketches into full blown paintings.

I’m continuing with the posca plus brush pen technique with my life drawing sketches. I’m figuring out that fewer colors works better for me.

Had fun making a collage at the Pioneer Square Art Walk in Seattle tonight. Based off of a painting I saw earlier at the Seattle Art Museum.
