Art Prompt - Landscape in Pastel Colors - Week 3

 Art prompt for this week - Do a landscape using pastel colors. The challenge for me is to only use color and not resort to a line drawing. Reference: Personal photo from the Nazca desert in Peru. Caption: A tree casts a shadow in the desert. Watercolor 5 x 7.

Art Challenge - "Shopping"

 It's been ten years since I did my last Art Challenge for Drawspace.  Since 2020 is not being a good year to travel its time to explore old hobbies.  Found a challenge on pmp-art.com.  The theme for August is "Shopping". Decided to try an  ink and watercolor from a photo I took during a trip to St. Petersburg, Russia in June 2007.  Size: 4" x 6.25"

December Art Trading Cards - Holiday Traditions

Finally finished. I did Christmas Movies as my subtheme. In the States, these movies are standard staples of the holiday season. Therefore, I'll consider them a Holiday Tradition. 
Happy Holidays Everyone!

December Drawing

Signed up this month for the Drawspace December Art Card Trade - Theme Holiday Traditions. Figured it was something constructive to do while classes are on winter break. When I was a kid, my mom used to make me draw Holiday Cards every year. First thing I did when I moved out of the house was BUY Holiday Cards. Took me years to get over that trauma :)

Here's an attempt at a portrait for this week's Drawspace challenge. Ink and Pastel, approx 3 x 3

A Friend's Grandson

I received a cute photo in my email and thought it I'd try to draw it.

I haven't done much drawing so thought I'd revisit Drawspace and see what's up this week.

Here's my two submissions with an "Underdog" Theme.
