sketching | I get a great deal of pleasure from drawing and sketching | No false modesty here | The quality of the work I do is marketable, I know this | Could I do it for a living? Practically speak, probably not | I'm not prolific enough | But maybe I need to work at changing this | Only yesterday, one of the folks at the gym where I work out said they'd like to buy one of my paintings | While negotiable on the price, the questioner didn't balk | What do I do? | Landscapes, mostly | But as is shown by the sketch to the right, I'm comforatble with people, too | Watercolor and pen+ink the preferred media in which I work | I have done oils, and I like the fluidity of the medium | Acrylics, on the other hand, I find difficult, thick and dense | I've got trouble mixing to get the colors I want | With oil and watercolor/goauche I don't have that problem | True, I realize that part of this has as much to do with practice with the medium and this can be worked on | But my first true loves are what I described |
