Different Strokes Challenge: Man on Bench
An artist named Karin Jurick (love her work!!) has a blog called "Different Strokes for Different Folks"; every Wednesday she posts one of her paintings, along with the photograph she used for reference. Artists are invited to submit their own version of the photo. This is my stab at it for this week.

Stone on Wet Surface
I'm enjoying my colour pencils more and more; a much more versatile medium than I first thought...I didn't do anything different with this ACEO, but in my portrait work I'm experimenting with using mineral spirits to blend the first layer of pencil work, and then continuing with the pencil over top of that...

Country Lane
Country roads and dappled sunlight are recurring themes in my ACEO's. Both are things which bring me great delight and I just love trying to capture that in my art!

Winter Approaches
I used the colour of the paper as a strong element in this drawing.....I'm trying to hold back and not fill in more than is necessary when I work with this wonderful Colourfix Paper.

Herring Gull on the Beach
This drawing measures 5" by 7". I've allowed the background to a lot of the "work" in this one......something I definitely love doing and want to do more of. With the Colourfix Paper, the job becomes much easier!
