"Smoking girl with hair curlers"
Did the reference photo for this drawing during the preparations for a shooting. Mandy had to wait to get her hair ready before styling up as a Lady.
Using pencil & coffee for the sketch, then added some blue layers in PS.

3rd time's the charm...my wrist is sore from all the printing, but I got a pretty good print on my 3rd try. I'm going to try some thinner paper tomorrow after resting my wrist. I bet I'll get exactly what I'm wanting then.
ink doodle on journal page, I spent hours lost on the *inter-webs* yesterday reading, as they had shut off our gas and electric. They being PG&E - we now have new pipes, I don't know if the gas explosion fall 2010 South of San Francisco made the news, I can't recall if it was Oct. or Nov. just that people died, and many homes were destroyed. Anyways, they are trying to prevent a repeat, replacing and digging up old lines all over the city now. This is sort of my art thought, as really I've been escaping and fighting a flu more than I've been thinking art thoughts lately.

I'm sending both of these once they're painted, assuming one or both of them don't bomb. Crossing fingers!
Measured, gridded, and figured out how to draw chicken wire. Now to decide whether to keep it in positive or in negative. Thinking negative...gonna sketch more to see which looks better.
Wolfpack Way! I've been painting so much to get these bean bag toss games finished. Hoping they raise lots of $$$ for our kids tonight. (C) Julia Forsyth
This drawing was inspired by the gorgeous pic taken by Christine Majul of a silver laced wyandotte at the Puyallup Fair.

Here it is looking all cleaned up - the first step of a new commissioned piece I'm working on for a friend. Now I'm going to add color to it.
If you compare #draw365.97.2 with yesterday's #draw365.96.2, you'll see the strengths and weaknesses of Flickr (clearer through a scan and truer to what it looks like in real life but removed from the process) and Instagram (poorly focused but immediate, also very accommodating to the process when you take a pic of all of it at once instead of editing out everything but the art). Also, Flickr seems to be a better archival program vs. the immediacy of Instagram.
They're both great in their own ways.

Golden Day Triumph over fleeting inspirations and ubiquitously seductive oh-wow-what's-over-there!
This was the last prep sketch of many for a woodcut. The middle section of the drawing with pencil hatchmarks peeking through the Sharpie hatchmarks was just a rough idea of what the woodcut would look like in that part but in reverse.
Then I decided that it was bothering me...so I would quickly just add some color.*
*I should know by now that you can take the color-lovin' painter away from her paints and into a black-and-white project, but you can't ever take the paints away from the artist. Or something like that.
And, of course, once I made that Cadmium Red Light connection, sparks flew. And the project changed directions. It very much felt like "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie..." but with paint. If you give an artist some Sharpie marks on a page, then she'll want to add some Cadmium Red Light just because it rocks and is amazing. If she adds some Cadmium Red Light to what was intended to be just a reference sketch, then surely she'll have to follow that up with some fantastic custom-mixed deliciously 50's aqua that's been on her mind for about 3 months. And if she adds that aqua to the mix, then OF COURSE she has to do some Xacto cut-outs on the border. Everyone knows that! ;)
And that's how this was born. I'm beginning Step 5 in this painting's progress and now it seems to have outgrown its 4" x 6" starter environment. The evolution continues! Stay tuned.
Chapel in the Woods
Quick (digital) sketch (iPad, Brushes App).
In the town where I live there is an early 17th century chapel which lies very picturesquely on top of a hill in the middle of the woods, known as the "Leenderkapel". I decided to do some sketches of it in different styles and with different techniques, just experimenting with colours, materials, moods, styles and techniques without focussing on an actual representation.
