Art Of The Zodiac Art Show.

I had a great time participating in last night's "Art of the Zodiac" show held for one night only at Bar Basic downtown and curated by Thumbprint Gallery.

I had three pieces in the exhibit:

Lion Skull (Leo).  Ballpoint pen and watercolor on paper. 6.5x4.5"

Ram Skull (Aries).  Ballpoint pen and watercolor on paper mounted on wood. 8x6"

The Maiden (Virgo). Watercolor and pencil on paper mounted on wood.7x8"

Sketchbook: Two Drawings Of Women.

I've been playing around with materials -- experimenting with metallic leaf and letting the watercolor do its own thing.

Tamara (Watercolor in Moleskine sketchbook, 5x8").

Jen Pregnant (Ink, acrylic, casein, and imitation gold leaf in Moleskine sketchbook, 5x8").

Sketchbook: Christa.

Christa (Acrylic ink and watercolor in Moleskine sketchbook, 5x8").  Applied blue, raw sienna, and black acrylic ink via airbrush.  Used opaque watercolors over the top.  I had a difficult time getting this to accurately scan.  I included a camera shot at the end to give a different reference point than the scanner (first image).

Here is the original pencil sketch:

I airbrushed the sketch with cyan, raw sienna, and black acrylic inks.

And here is the final image taken via camera:
