For various reasons that probably aren’t very good, I haven’t been doing much art recently. But when we went on our cruise (before Corvid-19 blew up) I had time to do this colored pencil sketch:

We’re taking portrait drawing this term. Lots of fun so far.
From yesterday:

I think it turned out rather well. (NaNoWriMo? I don’t know what you’re talking about.)

This isn’t Inktober, it’s just some studies I did for barnacles that are in my current art class project.
Yes, I am still writing. I find I do better overall when I don’t talk about it.

This a new version of a sketch I did earlier this fall while I was playing golf, waiting for the group ahead of me to tee off. I was trying to clean up the lines and such, but it wound up looking pretty much like the original :p

Clearly I’m not going to be posting every day. I’ve done other sketches but none of them good enough to post.
This is from last night. I had oysters on my mind.

Our instructor had us start this term working on portraits. I used to do pencil portraits, but I’ve only attempted one previous painting. So I’m pretty pleased with this version of daughter.

Finished the third of the seagull pictures. They were fun. The rest of the term will be portraits.

Class is going well. This is my latest effort. I’m quite pleased overall. The wing of the seagull landing on the fence isn’t quite right, though, and I’d like more contrast with the plover and the beach.

This is the project from the last couple of weeks. I did two versions of the same subject, a tuna boat approaching a pier just before dawn.
