portrait in blue

Title: PORTRAIT IN BLUE

Size: 11 x 15

Medium: Watercolor and Ink

For those who kindly wrote asking about "a bottle of ink in a pencil",

here is a photo of a demonstration on beginning portraiture. The class is about drawing the face and, painting it in colors that are and are not done in common "flesh tones." The "ink in a pencil" is very much like a watercolor pencil but is indelible. I draw onto dry paper and manipulate with sponges, or I draw onto a damp/wet surface to see where it takes me. The post below has a link with a photo of the pencil. This has been one of my favorite tools for many years...you will find it used in many of my pieces.

If you would like to attend a workshop on DRAWING AND PAINTING REALISTIC FACES, please contact me at artwithmoxie@cox.net .

summer evening

Title: SUMMER EVENING

I did the drawing with one of my favorite tools, "a bottle of ink in a pencil" over a tissue collaged surface. You can see the pencil HERE. Went on to paint in watercolor along with refining the image using Caran D' Ache watercolor crayons and pencils. See these HERE. This painting was featured in a calendar a couple of years ago.

These tools are a staple in my work....love teaching with them.
