New works on blue backdrop

some new work with multiple exposures.  some of these really show off the beauty of the material:  kodak laminate, packing tape, egg tempera, sharpie, dry pigment, china marker, aluminum leaf, etc.

really liking the blue backdrop.  it shines through the transclucent mylar. these constructed drawings are 8x8".

Sunday Morning Perkins Street 2010

This is the drawing from last Sunday morning's drawing class.  We held class on a third floor deck with a view that swept over Our Lady of Good Voyage toward the western shore.  I will start paintings from some of these sharpie drawings.  there are three tiny shapes in the drawing that are on the ground plane.  these spaces, one near two far interest me very much.  i'm not sure how i will handle the large roof shapes on the left and right, but that is one of the great things about drawing, i can try the ideas out before committing to paint, or not.  I love all of these complicated views with lots of activity.  do you have a crazy landscape that you would like me to draw for you?  

One of my drawings of Captain Joe's!

My drawing of Captain Joe's!

awesome.  it is one of my favorite mixed media drawings.  visit the site.  register, upload or vote. whatever.  this is just AWESOME!

Sunday Morning Cripple Cove view

This morning we held our painting class in my backyard.  we reviewed some work, then the students painted. i drew with my new sharpies.  this is the view toward the State Fish Pier with the towers of Our Lady of Good Vogaye on the upper right and the Marchant Street "Tower House" on the upper left.  I have since added aluminum leaf to the drawing to help define some of the shapes.  will post follow-up.  gorgeous day here on the cove, on shore breeze and the air is dry!  YES!

later,

deb.
