This is for the Artist Challenge Gallery challenge called the Ties that Bind.  Below is my interpretation of that theme.  The bonds in life we have made always have a hold on us your life.

Holding hands with someone represents love, affection and your connection with that person.

This challenge from Leslie Saeta  was to post the my process of painting.  I never sketch my images I basically start to paint.

image1

 

1.  I start out just blocking in the whole shape of whatever I am painting using the middle tone but in this case just painted in some white to fill in the shape

image2

 

2. next I start to fill in the areas with various tones.  Since this is a black and white I use Mars Black, Titanium White.

3.  Finally I start to soften all the tones and added a dew drop.  Probably blend a bit more but for now this is it.

With such great weather, Spring is finally here.   These are Rhododendron , we use to have these flowers in our yard, they are so beautiful when the bush is full of them. A genus of shrubs or small trees, often having handsome evergreen leaves, and remarkable for the beauty of their flowers; rosebay. Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into. ~Henry Beecher, Life Thoughts, 1858

I did this image in high key values.  Trying something a little different instead of darkening all the shadows but just enough to let you know they are there.  This is graphite on paper  High Key is basically having more light than darker value.

This is a cute little boy I did a portrait of called curious I did this one to enter into the Women’s Art League 80th competition in April.  I very much enjoyed doing this one.
