That glaze worked wonders to create a chilly atmosphere; everything is coated in “cold.”

The monochromatic look works so well for this. I like the quiet mood too with nothing to distract from the effects of the snow.

Wonderful woodsy textures in this beauty, Wayne! I could get lost in it. I’m sorry you’re still feeling the effects of your fall but as a fellow oldster I know we just take longer to heal. I would like to try that oil paper too. Putting coats of gesso over watercolor paper works for now...

I agree: so beautiful already!

Simple things that are well lit make extraordinary subjects! It seems you are drawn to these snowy, wooded scenes, Wayne, and I am enjoying them so much.

So lovely with that little patch of sunlit leaves on the ground! You and snow are a good fit, Wayne.

I’m so sorry to hear this, Jade. I know how much it hurts. Bob was a wonderful model for you and I feel lucky that I got to meet him through your drawings. Hugs to you ❤️

Both are beautiful but the zebra with his stripey , knobby knees is so appealing and adorable!

That’s an eye-catching design! I love this and the digital version but this one will look great on a wall.

See if this works, Wayne:

I like the changes you made since the last post; they seem thoughtful and considered. Those shapes are stirring my imagination and the title fits! Now I have the “gates of Hell” stuck in my head from the Tom Petty song. 🙄

Thanks Wayne. I see the sense of motion in this and how the light at the top is illuminating whatever is happening. Cool!

Creepy Zone of Wonderment. You are in that zone and it’s a good place to be. Wayne, do you find that hard edges tend to become things more than soft ones? There is strength in those shapes because of the edges but I have to keep the edges soft as long as possible to keep the things from...

I’m very interested in how you’re doing this, Wayne! Whatever the outcome, I love the idea of starting with no subject and waiting for it to emerge. My problem is that I see such weird things (elephants in hats etc.) and I can’t unsee them and they don’t translate well into paintings. I hope...

That’s adorable, Jade! It’s ok about the inktense - they will be there when you feel like using them another time. You shouldn’t feel like you have to force yourself to use them; life’s too short.
