Echinacea Botanical (Ink & Watercolor)
Beauty and the Beast
I did this one from a piece of art I found online that looked like a challenge. I was told one way to get better is to try and copy the masters. Though I didn’t copy it exactly, I think I did a pretty good job. I know, I’m nowhere near his level of art, but I’m learning!
The artist is Joszi Arpad Koppay (Austro/Hungarian, 1857-1927) Alas, I can’t read any of the journal on him, but there is a pretty nice collection of his work at https://kolybanov.livejournal.com/14459106.html for any interested in looking at it.
“The Huntress”
“Gold Dust Raven”
Just finished this sketch today. I like the way it came out.
“Winter Watch”
“Elephant Eye”
“My Little Chickadee”
Playing with touches of color for a more dramatic effect on the sketches. I like the way this one turned out.
Hawk’s Gaze
I am liking playing with a slight add of color to the background of the sketches. I’m rather proud of this one. I think it came out really good.
Entwined
Okay, I am getting a bit closer this time. Different models.
