new sketch

new sketch 4 24 2011..watercolor pencil on moleskin 5x7”..I think I’ll paint him out now that he’s captured in this form. an imaginary man.

black and white painting in progress..

not a whole lot left to do on this guy (it's my second attempt to get him looking acceptable to me ;) mostly acrylic with watercolor & watercolor pencil on an acid free black fiberboard I'm trying out..11x14"

stupa self portrait/gold-brown background

Here's a variation I painted after scanning and printing my latest self portrait on watercolor paper, then painting a new background with transparent dyes, watercolor and metallic pigment. I like to leave the original as uncovered as possible so I can do more with the image over time. I print with Epson Claria inks then reinforce any weak areas with new watercolor, watercolor pencil and sumi ink. 8.5x11"

sorry to take so long to share updates with you..there's more than this but here's some..more details as I finish each piece.
