Preliminary Drawings for Series 2

Here are the 6 value patterns that I'll be using for my second painting series.  They were completed 12/24/2018 and 12/25/2018.

Pair of Owls in Oils

Completed 12/21/2018

Hummingbird in Oils

Completed 12/14/2018

Solitary Owl in Oils

Here is yet another completed piece from my first bird series.  I am most pleased with how the eye turned out.

It was completed on 11/8/2018.

Parrot done in Oil

As promised from yesterday: the oils rendition of the parrot done in sharpie.  It's one of the more detailed pieces I've done.  I'm especially pleased with how the beak and shadow beneath the yellow feathers turned out.

Cardinal Done in Oil

Here is my Cardinal image done in sharpie converted into an oils painting (finished on the 25th).  I'm rather pleased with how vibrant the colors turned out. 

The oil painting of the parrot shouldn't be far behind, all it needs at this point is a signature once the paint dries a bit more.

Series 1 Color Sketches

Here are some simple color sketches that I'll be using for my next five paintings.

Humming Bird

Pen and Sharpie piece that was completed today.

Parrot

Here is a sharpie/ballpoint pen hybrid piece I just completed today.

Here is another sharpie piece I did today of one of nature's cuddliest birds of prey.

Owls

Here is another bird-based sharpie drawing I just finished.

Cardinal in Contrast

Here is a piece I whipped out today with sharpie markers.  I guess it isn't too shabby considering that I'm somewhat out of practice.

Portrait of Garf

Here is a painting I did of my pet cat last year, using water soluble oils.  Oh right, I'm kind of back now.  I'll try to post more content when I can.
