For my Christmas card.
Almost every Tuesday night while Hannah Mae has her hip hop class at Northwest Tap Connection, I get about 40 minutes to see how quickly I can sketch or paint a little something. One of my favorite spots is Empire Espresso in Columbia City (awesome service by Rose, and the perfect double, short Americano with Kuma Coffee). This watercolor (above) and sketch (below) were both products of these Tuesday nights. The pen only sketch was just done tonight. Part of my mini sketch series — all black and white, all mini, all in restaurants. Will post more of those soon.
Not from a particular photo, but inspired by many photos of girls carrying jerry cans of water all across Africa. {charcoal pencil + soft pastel}
It's been a while since I used soft pastels. Worked from a photo from one of my favorite World Vision photographers, Jon Warren. My drawing doesn't look much like his amazing photo, but it was worth a try. :) Check out World Vision Magazine — full of beautiful, compelling stories and photos from around the world.
Birthday card for my dad. Inside greeting lets him know about
his new Experience Music Project membership.
Reminds me of this Fender Telecaster sketch I painted in 2008.
The last ranunculus from my Mother's Day bouquet.
