Sketch 365: Week 4: "Leaves"

Okay, so, my friend chose "leaves" because where she lives, there are still leaves around. Here in Alaska, they are long gone and I didn't really have any good photos of leaves that I felt like drawing, so after one leaf… Well, you can see what happened. :)

This last one is my first attempt at using Prismacolor Premiere alcohol-based markers and I'm in love! You'll be seeing more of these. Also, again, all of these are based on my own photography and are drawn in an 8.5" x 5.75" sketchbook with Sharpie pen - no pencil sketching first!

Battery/Fuel final

"Battery/Fuel"
Oil on canvas
October 23, 2013

I periodically go out to the location of these wrecked cars to see how nature progresses on the reclamation process. It's been several years since I took the first photo this was painted from and since then vandals have ripped the chrome "battery" and "fuel" parts off as well as the matching "oil" and "water" bits as well. I found parts of them in the snow and mud and am thinking of having them framed with the original painting.
