3 . 31 . 2015 ... Wanted to work up a nice little sepia toned graphite sketch using Derivan liquid graphite and a spattering of a mixture of yellow ochre/raw umber watercolor. This is the result from this morning in my studio... an 8" x 11" ...had it finished in under an hour minus a little drying time.... pretty quick work time with the Derivan, painting straight from the bottle and putting it to paper.

Titled "East of Lewiston"... it is of the mountains of southern Idaho. I used some artistic license on the trees in the middle ground... by making them appear to be groups of aspens against the mountain range...
This painting is titled "High Mountain Autumn" .. Another painting that is available as a signed print. Again, if interested, email me at eaverdine@gmail.com or use my web page.

3 . 20 . 2015 ... A watercolor from this morning. Sometimes (probably more like often), I get up in the very early morning hours and go into my studio and just paint.... Something I enjoy doing. Here is a watercolor where I put down a heavy background color and then scrubbed it out to tone the paper ... let it dry and then painted the forest edge into it.. I was initially planning on adding some interest to the right side of the painting as you can see from the pencil lines, but I'm not for sure I want to do that... I think I like it the way it is. I'm wondering if adding something to the right side might take away from the interest of the stand of trees on the left side of the painting. I even left some of the pencil lines on the right side to give a slight hint of trees. Sometimes a few loose marks can change the feeling of a painting.

During that history tour of our home, the historical society said we had over 500 people thru the front doors on that day.... I know we had a very interesting and fun day meeting so many different people....

3 . 1 . 2015 ... Reworked a few of my rough sketches from a sketch book into a more finished piece of work. Thought I might try the liquid graphite and watercolor/pastel to redo some of the sketches I have. Taped off 300# arches rough paper into the desired dimensions to get a nice cleaned-up look... The sketches here were posted earlier in this blog.
