Introducing: Sketches on Canvas

Introducing: Sketches on Canvas

Purple Flowers III

A brand new series of art.  Each sketch is made with charcoal, matte medium, gesso and no more than three colors.  They are created on gallery wrapped canvas, which is 1 ½” deep and the sides are left white to enhance the raw, unfinished feel to the piece.

I wanted to start this series after I noticed how much I love the first layers of my landscapes when everything is still very simple and fresh.  I have decided to make each sketch to be either a study for a possible landscape or an image inspired by a Wordless Wednesday* blog post.
