Moss Rose

9x12 Caliart markers on Masters Touch marker paper 46 lb done last week using one of my gardening photos from years ago. I had bought these moss rose plants as they love the hot Texas sun. Tomorrow I'll post how it looks on its reverse side as the bleedthrough is amazing to see. Whoever gets this piece gets a twofer. No pencil sketch was done only negative mark making.

Inside Red Bell Pepper

9x12 CaliArt markers on Master's Touch marker pad paper done last week. I was wanting to use the markers again as their vivid colors are unmatched by any paint medium and this freshly sliced red bell pepper was perfect for a vegetable still life. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

August Annuals

5.5x8.5 alcohol markers in Masters Touch sketchbook done over this past weekend testing new CaliArt products. These markers layer very easily and smoothly and a backing sheet needs to be behind it as you work due to bleed through. This is from a photo taken years ago in the Hill Country of Texas. Working from a photocopy showing black, grey, and white values only the darks were sketched in first, followed by medium colors then light ones. COPYRIGHT 2020 Kay Smith
