Work in progress Colored pencil by Charlotte Yealey

This piece is coming along a lot better and I am finally getting the background to shape up with more layers. Colored pencil works can be frustrating because the multiple layers and the time involved but the medium is well worth it with results of great detail.

Work in progress Colored pencil by Charlotte Yealey

My work has slowed on this piece and now I have a problem. The lake water was the only thing in the background of the photo and I am not liking what colors I chose for the lake water. I will try to lighten what is there.

Work in progress Colored pencil by Charlotte Yealey

I finally got to my favorite part-the dogs. Even with trying to get all the legs and tails in that are hanging below her arm, it is fun to draw in these little faces.

Work in progress Colored pencil by Charlotte Yealey

The background on a piece this size takes the majority of the time and this one has a large area of background. I concentrate very hard on keeping my pencil work even and a continuing flow of color coming from my pencil. The first layer on the background took an hour and then another hour to work on the face and hair.

Work in progress Colored Pencil by Charloltte Yealey

13x16
colored pencil work in progress
My husband and I went to a "Docks Dog" event at Lake Marburg outside of Hanover and I took lots of photos of dogs and people. I was really intrigued with a couple that came to the edge of the lake with 8 dogs. The man walked 3 yellow labs on leashes and a mastif. The girl carried 3 chihuahuas and 1 dachshund. Another man with them had a professional looking camera and was taking their picture. Since I had a zoom lens on my camera, I could get a few shots from where I was sitting. When I saw this shot when I loaded on my computer, I had to do it in colored pencils. This is a shot when I first started the lake in the background and I will continue to post a shot after each hour of work.

"Horse Pasture" Pastel by Charlotte Yealey

9x12
Soft Pastels on Wallis Paper


For my second daily painting I chose a photo from my landscape photo reference file of a pasture. I did not include the fence on the photo and I added a mare and her foal from another
reference photo. The sky was blue with no clouds but I added some fluffy ones for a more interesting painting. I completed this is 2-1/2 hours and I feel I over worked it a bit. I don't feel the baby horse is believable.

My Grandma Graphite Drawing by Charlotte Yealey

7x7
Graphite Pencil Drawing
I thought I would try a painting or drawing a day so I thought I would start with drawing from an old photo of my grandma that I have been wanting to do. Working on this off and on through out the day, it took me about 4 hours to do this. I'm not sure if I will be able to do this every day with my schedule and a few commissions I have to do but it is worth a try. I see work that I still need to do on this drawing but then it would not be a drawing a day.

Colored Pencil

Due to a spring cold and procrastination, I finally finished one of several paintings I had been working on. I photographed horses near the Hanover Shoe Farms last year and I love this mare and her foal. I liked that she was a different color than her foal and I liked the way the trees looked in the photo in the background. The background took longer to do than the horses.

"Tulips" in Neocolors by CharlotteYealey

10 1/2 x 8
"Tulips"
Neocolors
This is a painting I did for a demo at the "Art in the Garden" booth at the Mid Atlantic Garden show in York on Friday March 5. I chose to work in neocolors that day because it is a fun medium and easy to take along. When I teach children's workshops, the kids love this medium because they look like crayons but you can also paint with them. You apply the color and can even layer colors on the paper then use a wet watercolor brush to blend the colors. The amount of water you use on the brush determines the opaqueness or translucency of the painting. Here is another painting I did in neocolors.

8 x 8
Neocolors
I love the brilliant colors I can create on flowers with this medium.
