Elin Pendleton finishes the DVD Lesson painting on Misty Light
I never even opened the warm box for this painting, and I believe that the time of day is effectively conveyed by just the subtle use of the lovely grays--green, red, orange, purple and the earth tones to accent. Misty morning light with NO distinct light source, nor strong shadows. I'm pleased wiht it, and can hardly wait to start the next one!
The workshop in November was a rousing success (I'll post some of the demos and images from that one in the week ahead) and I'm scheduling another three day Color Boot Camp in February of next year. Lots of good art and learning comes from these sessions, so if you can make the time (three and a half days), you'll definitely be a beneficiary of the "CS". HA!
Now it is back to the easel to get the digital tapes and set up for the next painting. Yippee! I'm Baaaaaack!

Hurricane. New graphite drawing by Sheona Hamilton-Grant
"Hurricane"
Graphite on Paper. 36x56 cm.
Sheona Hamilton-Grant
Hurricane is my first drawing this big.
The result was well worth the extra hours.
In this post I thought it would be nice to share the set of instructions used for preparing and producing this specific drawing.
(p.s:The ingredients used can be found worldwide, the way in which they are combined comes from trial and error.)
INGREDIENTS
1 sheet of Mellotex paper, whole
3 clutch pencils, filled (6B, 2B &2H)
1/2 piece of Blu-Tack
1 gorgeous subject (1.1 tones/2425 lb)
12 finely detailed digital photographs
XL Foam board
1 “White Lies” cd
2 Marillion cds
Collectors Edition Pink Floyd
11/2l of drinking water (daily)
2 nespresso coffees (daily)
Preheated studio to 19 ºC = 66.2 ºF.
65 hours of drawing time.
Freshly ground passion.
DIRECTIONS
In a warm studio, over angled drawing board, outline subject and study eyes, movement and light. Add a pinch of passion and bring inner vision to a simmer.
Place paper on foam board. Tape corners with artist tape. Secure and set aside.
Turn on music.
Review sketch and bring to parchment. Begin eyes to get a perfect expression.
On a clear drawing board, under good light, add more work to overall subject. Pin down the darks and gradually stir in the lighter values. Allow the lighter grays melt into the drawing, and then add detail to the mix. Work gently for approximately 65 hours until the values are completely coated with details.
Finish with a pinch of zeal and a crack of freshly ground passion.
Serve immediately.

Wild and Free
Wild and Free is a 5.5"x7" bronze. Finished in a beautiful buckskin patina. Sculpted my Deanna Cummins who was inspired by the wild mustang. She depicts the graceful horse shying away from a seemingly strange object which he has just discovered.
