Shalom to all my followers

I am thinking of returning to BlogSpot. My problem was that the site that was publishing stopped it's service. They have returned and I am giving a new try. If all works out I will transfer my new domain name to Blogger.

Ballinglen Fast Sketches

Each morning, we would start with a timed warming up exercises on small substrates.  I taped arches oil paper with masking tape. I did these in about 40 minutes per group. Some were later tweaked the next day. I did the square set on paper that I brought from home. All done with oils and cold wax.

My intentions in this series was to explore larger shapes and line work with various techniques and materials: scratching, crayons, pencils, etc.
