The Overflowing Cup 4

Finished the leaves, added final highlights to the trunk, and the tree and sky are now done... so - on to finishing the grisaille of the shelf, and getting on to doing the curtain coloring...

re - Heritage

originally it was to be a more complex work, with this as being on the right a wee, and another object, a photo of ancestors in an ornate frame on the other side... but could not find good source material to use for the oldtime photo imitation, so went with this in a smaller size... the image was deliberately vague so could be used to show a female or male child with an even more vague person aside... had just finished the Auel books, and so the idea of the bone handled ladle appealed to me, to see if could imagine such a thing... and it seemed to work all around, making for a nice small painting in b/w...

a further note, in case not considered - heritage can be from the past, OR beginning now into the future [one way of looking at the youngster in reflection]...

Heritage

Finally got a photo of my rendering, Heritage... 7"x5" acrylic black ink on Stonehenge pad paper, stippled with crow quill nib...

The Overflowing Cup 3

The fold is now essentially done, tho may go over more to intensify the curve... and next is either [or both] going on and finish the shelf grisaille, or begin coloring the curtain [after, of course, getting the curve more intense]...

The Overflowing Cup 2

For those interested, this is what am now contending with in getting to doing artworking for the time being, as there is stress on the outside nerves when stippling such as cannot for now carry on for longer than 10 minutes a stretch without much pain developing... this does help some, and probably will get one of those used for carpel tunnel syndrome in the hope that will be even better [while this not show, there is a rice paddle behind, underneath all the elastic bandage wrapping, the handle going up into the first section of the little finger]... hopefully, in another month of exercising to strengthen the muscles back there, this will not be needed as much [or better still, not at all]... time will tell, of course - in the meantime, onward with the rendering...

The Overflowing Cup 1

I could say this is a blue rope tree, because of the minerals in the water where it grows, but most think of this one as a 'bishop' tree... there has been a bit more done on the fold, but will wait until get it all done before posting [it could have been done by now, but was spending time setting up Open Office and retrieving old WIP photos for use on the projected RENDERING IN THE GRAND MANNER book, which is being looked at as am doing the rendering]...

The Overflowing Cup

Now am back with access to a computer, am able to again show another work in progress... however, due to the extensive absence, this is beginning sort of at midstream, as it was begun during the absence... the base grisaille is prussian blue, with the processed cyan as the sky... the tree is antelope brown, with black underneath in the burnt area... the container is sap green, with highlights of light green... the shading of the curtain fold is also processed cyan...

and a further going at the fold was done late last night...







note that the pen is using a crow quill nib, and the inks are all FW acrylic inks...

I have Returned.......

After a much too long a time, have finally acquired a pc and can once again be adding to this blog... there have been a few works which, unfortunately, missed being saved to be posted, but am in the midst of "The Overflowing Cup", and will be uploading in progress photos shortly [tho themselves in progress, as was not able to take pics of the earlier parts]...
