Cal, do you feel the emotions depicted in your drawings/paintings? Your postings are always so fun and up but your art seems to depict an opposite of that. Just wondering. Each artist is different. When I write, my poems usually depict what I am feeling but with my drawings, I do them, then take on the emotions of the piece. Glad you posted!

Cal, another question. I thought when I first viewed the second piece that it was a painting. It is a pastel but wondering, do you use a spray sealer and if so what kind? With the sheen on it, I thought it was a painting at first then went back and reread your note.

Here are some of my attempts at pencil shading done 2-3 years ago

The one with the books was done with those arranged in front of me.

The veggies in a pot was done from a black and white photograph.

Here is a stencil I made long ago around the same time as the above pencil sketches.

The next one is a water colour attempt.

First one is a pastel crayon attempt and the second one is pencil colour.

Both were done looking at photographs.All of my work in these posts are from the same year.

Sorry to have posted so many,but I had some free time and was inspired

to search these out and post them.

You have been hiding your light under a bushel! These are so interesting! I am continually amazed at the different styles and techniques of pencil artists. Everyone who posts are unique unto themselves. I love your work! You have worked in so many mediums. Do you have a favorite???

Wish I could view these up close and personal! The water in the second one mesmerized me!

Awww...thanks JR,
I did have someone to guide me through the techniques when I did these though.

A favorite for me would be acrylics on fabrics..which I will try to post at a later time..
