This is a series of drawings revealing the stages in a mixed media process using colored pencil and watercolor. It is of a wonderful dog Edie,whose face reveals such emotion. The first is the contour demonstrating the light source to show form, the composition, and my personality highlighted by drawing quite blindly and keeping my eye on the subject.

Bird’s Eye View

This is a three drawing series where we look at a stork within its natural setting. We first zoom in on the eye and beak, then step back taking in more, and finally see the entire setting. Serial imagery provides valuable insight into the connections within our art, it helps tell a story, and allows the viewer to understand it on a personal level .

It is a time consuming, detail oriented endeavor, yet can also be completed in a looser more painterly manner.
