Hafa Adai (Hello) Everyone,
Almost finished with this piece need to add the word GUAM or some other meaningful words on the Latte stone. Why does this painting mean so much to me? Well sitting at my art table with a blank canvas in front of me and a pencil in hand memories of my sons begin to flood my mind and so i decided to sketch this youthful teen boy.
At first sketch the boy was just standing, and steering needed to add some action to him. Then i recall previously a week or two ago looking at some photos of people in particular a local man wearing a hat and playing a ukulele.
Sketching the body form of a person was not new to me and was not very good at it but i felt challenged to finish this painting. How to draw? well let's see paper, pencil, photos, and you tube, and lots of practice and make sure you have plenty erasers ready on the other hand...lol
The best part, I love painting with warm bold colors, pencils, and inks...and Oh What A Joy it is to paint this piece remembering my two wonderful sons and the good times we had together.
Will be listed soon on my etsy shop.
See You Next Time,
Janet Marie
