    Thank you all for the compliments :) can't wait to see more of your guys art.
    Here's another part of the fineline series (this one is called 3#)
    And another pastel one I did around the same time as the other, which I haven't thought of a title for yet.

    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:D to search these out and post them.:eek:

    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??

    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.. :p

    Firmbeleiver that boat one is fantastic!
    Jrebel, unfortunately, "fun and up" isn't something I feel often enuff.
    I use hair spray to seal my pastels, and the shine I think is the light from the camera reflecting of that.
    Whoa... just realised that all that stuff between here and my last post is yours firmbeliever! All that talent in different mediums from one artist! Its all so good :) can't wait to see more of you art and more of others art.
    Edit- one of the reasons I seem happier than my artwork on this is because when I'm talking to you guys it makes me feel happier than usual :)

    All the more reason to keep posting and keeping in touch with other artists!! This thread is my contact with a world that is not easily found here. Cal, keep creating and posting and we will all benefit from the encouragement from each other. Some of your art reminds me of some of my work sometime back. Maybe just kindred spirits! :)
