Cascade Elk and Rundle Raven

A while ago I had a couple of ideas on how to capture some of the local characters here in the Bow Valley, Elk and Raven. I put ideas to canvas, and now have these new images. I have also recreated these in to my greeting card collection.

Learning something new........charcoal

I am on a year long, on-line drawing course. The Module I'm in right now is charcoal, something I've never tried before. Challenging, interesting.......I'm enjoying working with this new medium. Enjoy the journey.

Making a plan for the next Canvas

Sometimes when you cook, you have a recipe......when you build a house, you have architectural plans to guide you. When I work on a new canvas, I first like to draw out the idea on paper. I then take the images and colour them in with pens to get an idea what look and feel I want for the canvas. The next step is to draw the image on canvas and start working with the brush. Enjoy the journey.

THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER

I am enjoying the journey with the online Draw Awesome course. As I become more confident with the pencils, I realize the world is at my fingertips for creating. In the next year we will be creating with pencil, charcoal, ink pens, pastel, watercolour, landscapes, animals and portraits. I will post on a regular basis, and each image is for sale. Enjoy the journey.

EYE SEE YOU

Its been a great new challenge working with pencil. Years ago it was my main medium, so to be back with pencil in hand is like seeing an old friend again. This lesson was to draw 4 different eyes from photographs.......it was a challenge to capture the glimmer and light you see in peoples eyes. Enjoy the journey.

Draw Awesome Course

I have signed up for a year long online course on drawing. We will use pencil, charcoal, pen and ink, ink and watercolour etc. This is my first lesson working with pencil and shadow. Enjoy the journey, Bob

My word for 2023 "MENTOR"

A few weeks ago I was talking to one of my healers, and she asked what my "Word" of the year 2023 was. After some thought, my word is "Mentor" I want to help as many people as I can achieve their goals, reach their dreams, and enjoy this journey we are all on. The two paintings here are for a fund raiser for Wayne Wiltse from Pemberton/Whistler. Wayne was in a terrible car accident last year and is now in a wheel chair for life. The fund raiser is January 31st, 2023. Help if you can. Enjoy the journey. Robert Krysak
