"Farm Site, Wire Drawing #1"
7" x 10", Ink on Paper, $50 |
This is a farm site near my friend, Jennifer Stone's family lodge near Watertown, SD. I've had a dream of painting farm scenes with Holstein cows in the foreground for about 7 or 8 years. I decided to build up to adding the cows and start with a farm site alone to start with. My plan is to complete a painting of this scene to enter in the
Transparent Watercolor Society of America Show. The hard part for me is that is has to be totally watercolor, and I've become a mixed media artist these past few years. This drawing took about 4 hours, so the idea of doing quick wire drawings is a far fetched idea, at best! Stay tuned to see the finished painting! Remember, if interested in buying this, contact me right away.
Karen if you have pen and ink on this wonderful image would it be disqualified from TWSA?
ReplyDeleteMary, this is the sketch that I do before I paint. I always work up a value sketch before painting. My entree into
DeleteTWSA will be pure watercolor. Are you entering this year?
OK...thanks for the tip. Not entering...good luck. Mary
DeleteHi Karen, I do like your wire paintings! Glad to see you working again. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool.... a collection of these would be a great coloring book!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Sheila. I've been thinking about doing one!
DeleteAre you doing "30 in 30" this year?
I love it! It looks like a combination of a continuous line drawing and a zentangle. LOL! I can see why it took 4 hours. I don't know if I would consider this a "sketch". It's more a piece of art in it's own right. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it Karen! It is so interesting!
