Pastel Figures

#434 Pastel Figures

Pastel because I clicked on the pastels. Colour black. You can see the way pastel shows up on different “paper”, yes bits are on different paper, virtually possible.

I think the influence here is listening to Bob Dylan’s Theme Hour XMRario show.

It is the last sentence that qualifies this as a sketchblog post.

Figure and Tones, combined sketches

#432 Figure and Tones

Later, while looking at the previous two images, which were done independently, but within minutes of each other I noticed a conjunction of form… so I pasted one on the other. Then “enhanced” the ink layer as I needed to soften the background it was on.

Fun to do.

“Figure” and “Gold”, two sketches in one post.

The previous layer led to this sketch. The figure was already there & I derw it our with my favourite pen & ink.

Later: Tuesday 17 April

The previous post went to the ether so here is the image: Gold a monochromatic layer.

#429 Gold

I did this one thinking might form the basis for something else. But it is a sort of sketch in its own right, emerging out of the earlier ones.

#0427 Pelican in Flight

The abstract emergence is interrupted by a sketchblog item. This is from the time in Australia, by the beach in Narrabeen travelling with Josh & Amy. More from that time coming up. A journal and a blog about our trip, frustratingly delayed. And even as I write there are sketches of the mountain brewing. Mt. Lyford is glowing outside as I write I I want to capture those moods.

I have added the Sketchblog Category, and will update the whole blog retrospectively. There, done, I now have a sketchblog for 2006-7 year of the sketch. What qualifies posts for this category? They reflect my life as I sketch it, outer life & inner life. Hmmm, they all do that… perhaps it is to do with my purpose, these are a journal of travels, even in my own circles.
