5" x 7" ink and watercolor |
This started with random marks on the page.
Then it appeared to me that a person was there.
So I called to him with my brush and paints.
And there he was.
"Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can." - Danny Kaye
He is so pensive and sad. Such emotion. Makes me wonder if he is doing his Income taxes. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd think so too if it weren't July. Maybe he's asked for an extension!
DeleteHi, Dan, a good and creative approach. Doesn't he look like you? Take care. Best wishes, Sadami
ReplyDeleteLet's see, big ears, prominent nose, black hair, soft eyes. Nah.
DeleteI enjoyed this approach and am inspired to see what more I can do with it. Thanks!
Interesting how real he looks but also abstract. I like him!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy, that is kind of what I've been after lately a mix of real and abstract. I have, for some reason, even though I greatly admire so many representational artists (including you, by the way) lost patience with doing purely representational art - although I expect I'll do it every now and then. Whenever I make a proclamation like that, it turns out it is all I want to do - lol! Glad you like him!
DeleteI love it!!
ReplyDeleteLove that word, love! Thanks so much, Beth!
DeleteThere he is, thanks to you Dan… well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Captain. Call me the conjurer.
DeleteWonderful! I love that he appeared randomly!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that something? I find I scribble and see things every time, anyway. And I'm partial to people so it is probably not a surprise.
DeleteLooks like he has a lot on his mind. It's a fun drawing'
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it! Yes, it does look like he has a lot on his mind - the scribbling adds to that I think.
DeleteYour underlying shading and coloring is EXCELLENT! This is so unique and wonderful... just like you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. I love it!
Aw, I am blushing. Thank you!
DeleteVery cool!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteLove how the eyes draws you in, it has almost a haunted feeling to it and just want to know more about him.
ReplyDeleteThose eyes could tell a story!
Really cool and really well done! Glad to see you back at drawing and painting again.
I am so glad to be back. The drawing and painting never stopped, although it lessened because of the evil schedule - my arch enemy!.
DeleteI'm glad you are intrigued by the eyes. They say a lot to me too.
Outstanding Dan! You really broke boundaries with this one. I love it.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a fine compliment! Thank you!!
DeleteFun and graphic, I like it! =)
ReplyDeleteRoger, so nice to see you here at my blog! Thank you!
DeleteThank you! And you know fun and graphic, I know! So, how do I do this larger?
DeleteI love art like this...I guess it could be called "evolving art" because it "appears" to the artist. It's brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThanks Celeste! I kinda though you would like more representational works - glad you think it's "brilliant"! Wow. I would love to do this sort of thing on a large canvas. This involved making the marks first in ink, and then watercolor wash. I am trying to see how I can use the scribblism (as the experts call it - lol) on canvas!
DeleteThank You
