23. Hot
2 years ago - when the Barbie film came out - I delivered a class @sketchbookskool.bsky.social on using pink media. The 'hot' orange-pink of Beach-Barbie is quite something.

Another 'forgotten' page from a sketchbook.
Split pomegranate on plate. Such a lush fruit to draw.
Loosely applied tempera stick colour, then Sailor Fude 55° pen lines.
#drawing #temperastick #blackpen #blackink #sketchbook #artyear #pomegranate
At top a spotted plate with pomegranate split in two - revealing lush interior. Crimson red colouring 'bleeding' on to the white plate. Below it an open sketchbook with a drawing of the same. Colour loosely applied with tempera paint sticks. Black pen line next to add seed detail and a little definition.

18. Laysan finch (Telespiza cantans) Hawaiian honeycreeper with a heavy bill. Males - bright yellow head. Females - paler yellow and streaked. A vunerable species owing to its very small range on a few tiny islands.

17. Zebra dove (Geopelia striata)
Native to Southeast Asia, introduced to Hawaii in 1922. By the 1930s common on all the main islands. Can be seen courting and feeding around any outdoor restaurant or park.

An open sketchbook. Drawing of a bird on the left page in black ink using a green Sailor Fude pen - seen on the right. This pen's angled nib enables various widths of line. Tempera paint sticks in pastel shades of pink, orange, yellow and blue have been used for the plumage. The bird's eye is circled in yellow, its beak is blue.

I’m really doing what I can to get better at landscapes, but sometimes you simply swing at a miss. Progress is not linear and always about trying, even if you don’t hit a bullseye every time.

I wanted to give you guys a peek into my process today, so I thought I’d share the process and the final piece. The sketch is drawn with the tempera sticks alone and the final image layers acrylic markers on top of that.
