| I left the flock here ... |
 |
| Today, I went over the background with an alizarin crimson wash, followed by an indanthrone blue one. |
 |
| Then I went over the background geese with the dark blue ... |
 |
| ... and darkened their eyes and bills, and put a bit of direct shadow on the foreground geese's legs. I apologize for the changing colors of the photos. These I have posted are the closest I can get with the iPhoto application. |

... I like this one |
 |
| I call this "the look of love". |
 |
| I'm not sure about this one. It needs more work. K. looks almost sulky here. And Bruno the critic was here ... I took my sketchbook out to the field yesterday evening to work, as it was so muggy inside, and the Big Guy was mouthing the paper. We're getting a mild heat wave in B.C. I thank you for dropping by, and your comments are always welcome! |

The geese look so wonderful Kathryn! I love the deeper color you gave the background, it really makes the geese stand out. And the look of love is my favorite of the Kristie sketches, so much personality and love in that expression! :)

The geese's picture 're nice.
ReplyDeleteWonderful work on the geese! The front guy looks as if he could flap right off the watercolor paper! And the drawings of Krystie are quite sensitive - just lovely.
