Here are some small drawings I did as a trade. They are trading card size, 2.5" x 3.5". Graphite and marker, on bristol board.





Also, Seneschal, your painting is gorgeous! I agree, the color pallet is amazing.

Work in progress!



This is my first oil painting in years. It's pretty garish, like it belongs in a Lisa Frank headshop, but I'm having a lot of fun. 28 x 28".

Went to a drawing event where we got to wander around a Lightship that's been converted into an arts and community event centre.

That sounds amazingly fun! Also, I really like your drawing of the diving helmet, especially the greens you're using in those shadows.

How did you choose your palette?

The 'Lisa Frank colors' is thing I just naturally gravitate towards. My aim was to cover up an old painting I didn't like, and tackled it basically with the aim of "make the light look neat". I did a lot of playing with warm and cool colors, just experimenting using them in different combinations to push things backward and forward in space. Btw, I think your work with those individual leaves in your painting really paid off, they look beautifully translucent.

I did this guy in the last couple of weeks, 12 x 12:



My daruma doll relaxing angrily in a pot of nasturtiums. If you guys see something that you think is wonky, post it! I'm definitely up for critique.
