The drawings and paintings of a ever learning artist. Wednesday, July 23, 2014. Island impressions. abandoned. Pastel on tinted canson 28cm x 20cm. Another island impression, this one in pastel painted inside an old outbuilding there while standing in out of the wind.

Scribblings: Quick pastel sketch

http://goughpaint.blogspot.com/2015/06/quick-pastel-sketch.html

The drawings and paintings of a ever learning artist. Sunday, June 21, 2015. Charcoal and colored chalk on canson 40 x 30 cm. It's been a while since I posted so I thought I might upload this quick sketch of the Gearagh as twilight approaches. Less is more I think for this type of description and it is so tempting to try to accurately portray what you think you can see, rather than the mystery offered by the fading light.

Scribblings: Out of its element

http://goughpaint.blogspot.com/2015/01/out-of-its-element.html

The drawings and paintings of a ever learning artist. Saturday, January 10, 2015. Out of its element. Colored chalk on canson 42x30 cm. Today I thought I might try my hand again at chalk pastels. Its been a while,. But some time back, for ten years or so I used nothing else but dry media. It was good to feel the chalks in my hand again and it came easy. I have neglected them for too long in favor of the more forgiving oils. Perhaps I will do more in the future. Thanks for looking :). Posted by Kevin Gough.

http://goughpaint.blogspot.com/2014/04/guests-in-my-attic.html

The drawings and paintings of a ever learning artist. Monday, April 28, 2014. Guests in my attic. My next step is to lay in the basic colors, I am using a mix of pastels here and I am just getting an average of the color. As my model has since woken and flown, I am making my color notes each time he passes and lands outside my studio window. Finally then I have my finished drawing, I have used some very soft pastels on the top layer. This has been a pretty fast sketch overall, just for fun. My first illu...
