From B&W to Color
Here is my entry for week 35-36 on DSFDF!
Karin posted a beautiful Pennsylvania landscape in B&W. Challenge was to break away from the conventional and as Karin said "invent the colors based on what information you have."
This is a crayon sketch using Caran d'Arch Neocolor I wax-oil crayons
Black photo stock paper A4 [11.75"x8.25"]

This past weekend challenge was hosted by Jean Aka Jakesgram I chose 3 of her references: the tree trunks, Mandeville flower, and the urban scene of the Petit Casino.

Sunlit Path
Catch Me if You Can
This is another seascape done in oils on canvas pad 11.5x8.125". The reference photo was taken by my daughter of my grandson and son-law at the beach. I fell in love with the spontaneity of the scene. Painting figures and especially those you know is quite stressful....you want to at least get some likeness but also keep the work from being too overworked. This photo is not the finished piece.... I forgot to photograph the finished one before I gave it to my daughter. Will add it later...
