Here's another colored pencil. I'm really liking how vibrant you can get the colors with this medium. I just wish the computer monitor could show it as vibrant as it is in real life.

I've been experimenting with colored pencil here lately. They are a lot different than painting. It's like the opposite. What I mean by this is that in painting you can add highlights on top of darks, but with colored pencil you have to leave the lights(white of paper) to show through for the highlight.

I've visited this subject before in a painting. I thought I would give it a shot with pencil. I didn't realize how challenging the highlights on the foil would be.

This one was kind of different for me. I did this one from a photo that was taken on a very sunny day. The "whites" were washed out from the sun so there weren't any details shown. It's kind of neat when you leave the details out your eye fills in the blanks. You think you see details that aren't really there.

It's been a while since I've done one of these mini (ACEO size 3 1/2" x 2 1/2") paintings. I really enjoy doing them. What's really cool is that if you look close you can see brush strokes similar to a larger painting but they are just a lot smaller. Actually these paintings take just about as long as some of the larger ones I do. You just use really small brushes. I've included an image with a penny next to the painting to show the size.

Enjoy!

This is a composition that I've painted before. These items are a collection of antiques I picked up a while ago. I really like the effect the pencil has on it. With the black and white look of the graphite the drawing almost takes on an antique look.
Enjoy!

I'm currently reading Einsteins biography. I would share some interesting facts about him but I'm only about 20 pages into it. Not much to share so far. Only 500+ pages to go........
I thought I'd try a sketch of him. I think it turned out pretty well.

Pencil portrait

I've been working with pencil quite a bit lately. I've done a few portraits that I thought I'd share. These are done from photos. I've posted the reference photo that the portrait was drawn from.

If you would like a portrait in pencil done, please email me for the details. jclapp@jclappart.com

Thanks.
