15×11 mixed media India ink, white gel pen, and Derivan Matisse acrylic background color, a demo done in my Faces class Saturday. This unknown man had tangled, graying hair and a flowing white beard and was wearing a hodgepodge of clothing. Several different vintage papers were adhered to Canson 140 lb cold press watercolor paper and let dry before sketching with ink dropper tip. Water was added when ink still wet to obtain midtone grays.
Lastly the background color of Caromello was brushed on.

October 16, 2018 at 9:25 am #712046I am very sensitive to how the homeless are portrayed since I cook dinner every Friday night for our local soup kitchen. You’ve given him great beauty.
October 16, 2018 at 10:50 am #712037Thanks Carly and Cindi! That means a lot. We see lots of homeless veterans in our town and I work at a VA.

October 24, 2018 at 6:26 am #712050That process sounds very complicated, I can’t even imagine sketching with an ink dropper.. it has a lot of emotional impact, the finished painting.

As long as there is light, I will paint it.
