I am so lucky to have this beautiful honey locust in my backyard. One of the many benefits of living in a non cookie cutter older house and in an older neighborhood. It is minus 15 ( 5 F for my American friends), so I’m drawing from my bedroom. I sure don’t like how cold it is but I do love a blue sky and sun. I started with a blind contour and then a semi blind contour. I couldn’t help but add some shadows and bark detail in places. Im getting my brain warmed up for painting by noticing the light, the negative space, the colour, the shapes. #draw #drawing #negativespace #blindcontour #waysofseeing #sketch #sketchbook #sketching #micronpen #honeylocust #art #artistsoninstagram #artofinstagram #artwork #artwork #canadianartist #canadianart #quinteartists #ontarioart #ontarioartists @ Belleville, Ontario

WIP: limited palate of 6 colours - no black, no red . Started my underpainting/ sketch as a modified blind contour. I love the snow, the winter sun and the shadows on snow. This is inspired by a view at the Frink centre and by my @levelingup artist zoom last night. #blindcontour #wip #negativespace #limitedpalate #paint #painting #acrylicpainting #underpainting #wintersun #shadows #frinkcentre #art #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #artist #canadianartist #canadianart #ontarioart #ontarioartist #quinteartist #quinteart #belleville #kirkwoodart #kirkwoodoriginals
