Samples
Oh My Goodness. Does it ever end?
There’s so much going on with the Face Painters in Central Park
that I thought I’d get an edge by including Caricatures.
But there’s only one spot with any sort of shade,
and I’m not usually the one who gets it.
And it’s so unpleasant to try to keep those sweaty
color-sticks usable in the sun.
So I remembered the recent work I did for the M&M’s company.
Posted here on this blog 7/5/08. Bright Colors! Done with Markers.
Instead of the beautiful Color-Stick-Mixes that I usually use.
I decided to make regular Caricatures using Markers only when I’m in Central Park.
And that meant
New Samples.
Once again, back to the Drawing Broad.
Here’s what I made:
Good? Well, I was thrilled with them. Thinking of using them all the time now.
And before I even walked out of the store where they were being laminated,
I got a call from my friend, Subway. Another Caricature artist. And what’s he
talking about, but a new Color Scheme (with the Color Sticks that we usually use)
that he says is just fantastic. Start with the darks, a brownish and a pinkish,
then add the peach….And then,
I went online just messing around. Free time. Looking at pictures.
And I see a fabulous way to color eyeglasses with blue and green stripes of color sticks.
i could figure out how to do that with the Markers, but that gets me away
from the Simplicity that I wanted to use the Markers for.
It never ends. New ideas. New pictures. More choices.
I’m never finished. Maybe I’ll sleep when I’m dead?
