Pomegranate still life

The last still life I worked on in my Evanston Art Center class with Ken Minami

Sargent copy (oil sketch)

I love John Singer Sargent's work in general (as do almost all realist artists), and in particular his oil sketches of bedouins and arab people. This one ("Man With A White Turban," 1891) can be found on the Harvard Art Museums site.

I really admired a particular horse featured in the Rosa Bonheur painting "The Horse Fair," so I decided to try a watercolor copy of it.

Another Abe

My final ink test sketch before proceeding with a larger Abraham Lincoln portrait I have waiting. I like the color of this ink, but I think the Sepia works better on this paper and with the gouache highlights than this color ink (Red Earth).
