Nice
Nice revisited
over there
By moonlight
One
On another side of the glass
Once revisited
Alaska Range from 80 miles away
The Road To Everywhere
Owl in the yard
sighing
said and done
buds
Perhaps I should reconsider
Pressing plastic
Pressed plastic
Beyond the willows
Puddle with pollen
pollen season starts
End of the season
Finding the original face
summer boarder
pressed plastic box
in motion
Above it all
Spring time in Alaska
Quiet time
Believe in yourself
Lonely tango
Think carefully before you answer
Lesson learned
My pre-1998 google search engine
Having seen the Black Star
Blue Sunday
At the bath
fromFWS meeting
Hey, I think it's funny!
shades of play
As the sun sets...

Think carefully before you answer, revisited


This is the same sketch, shown a few pictures back, with acrylics added.
I've been doing a lot of playing lately putting acrylic washes atop charcoal sketches. I've found if I 'fix' the charcoal using cheap hair spray as a fixative, I can lay acrylic over it without smearing the charcoal.
Most charcoal artists will tell you only archival commercial fixatives work, that hair spray will yellow your paper over time.
Well, maybe so, but I've many charcoal sketches well over 5 years old, that I've fixed with hair spray, that have been hanging in indirect sunlight all that time, that show absolutely no signs of yellowing.
