Drawings from Lost Dog Trail
Wow. I’ve been away too long, from painting and this blog. Last post was a photo of me on Lost Dog Trail. It’s near my home in Scottsdale, Arizona. Below are three drawings from yesterday’s hike. I must admit I do not hike very far because of the time it takes me to draw. My focus was on hiking so I stopped briefly to sketch and added color later. I don’t like to do that, but I wanted to walk a little.
I drew with a new compressed graphic stick (very cool) and added the color later. It can make narrow and wide lines. I experimented with different color media on each piece. I used combinations of ink, colored pencils, marker, and watercolor.
Home, but still on the trail
Been off the ship for about a week. Good to be on dry land. Will post paintings on my website soon. In the meantime, here I am on the Lost Dog Trail in Scottsdale, AZ. Next photo is the moonrise over the hills to the East.
