I`m working on getting to a specific theme and subject to concentrate on going forward. So some of these are just good style development and may or may not be the direction. This is a fairly large drawing at 12x18 inches and is on Saunders Waterford 140 lb hot press watercolor paper. I mounted the paper to a thick board so I can paint it after the fixative and clear gesso layers dry. The under drawing is graphite and the color image is a comp I did on the computer to work out color and values. The goal of course is the final art will be better than the computer comp. This is a made up scene from pics of a Blue Heron and some I took myself at the zoo. I added the bird flying by to get some movement in the scene. Then I made up the setting and sunset lighting.
