Re: August Quick Draw - Everyone welcome

I left early Thursday morning to judge an art show in Plains, TX, and of course forgot my sketchbook. So while in New Mexico searched and found one that isn't too shabby, at Wally World So this lower view of horse's jaw is done in 20 minutes using black Elegant Writer pen:


I would like to make a full painting from this

Great work on this, Kay! Nice crop and a sort of illustrative feel to this piece. Well done!

Re: August Quick Draw - Everyone welcome

Kay, what a cute piece. It took me a while to figure it out but it's so artistic.

Ron, thanks for starting the thread.

I woke up at 3 am this morning and had some spare time to do a quick sketch.


Reference from horse thread in Animal forum.


Nero pencil
White charcoal
Earthbound kraft notebook 7x10 inch

Re: August Quick Draw - Everyone welcome

Kay... Dang nice quicky..
Sandra... He is just waiting to bite the bit and haul butt! Really well done!!!

Sorry guys about being a bit of a slacker.. Been sketching just not south west stuff so today I did a few when I had a moment. 5x7s using a graphic art pen and WC pencil. Oh.. The feed mill had these wonderful little horse cow pig etc... plastic critters 50% off.. I read that southwest artists such as Remington made models to paint from in the studio. So when I saw these I thought it would be easier than fitting a real cow or pig in here..

Great sketches, Catherine. These have so much movement and life to them. I love the use of line in the black sketch. Great work!

Well done, Catherine. I can see how these would be useful models for future paintings. good idea to use the plastic animals for models, they make some that are very realistic. Now I need to get off my duff, and get some sketching done!

Re: August Quick Draw - Everyone welcome

Appears that we have all been a bunch of slackers this month. It is August, it is hot and it is hard to have much ambition during the summer when there are other things to do.

I have done a few sketches this summer..just haven't been posting. Most are S/W but a few may not be. Ron..you can kick 'em out if you want.

This was just an interesting book on an artist I did not know. From a photo by Steiglitz of Charles Demuth. Did w/c in the style of Lautrec etc.


A draft horse resting while owner in Tavern






From an etching by J.D. Borthwick, a Scotchman who worked for an English
newspaper during the gold rush in the 1840's. A miners ball. I had to draw it.


A book on Monet had a photo begging to be included in my notes.


Explanation not necessary. The master's mag cover.


Well, if he hadn't of been a pirate he would have been a cowboy. N.C. Wyeth
