Following the chart to 52 drawings this year.

Thinking of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” for my drawing of ‘wings’ – here is a pair of ravens drawn in charcoal.

“Nevermore!”

Castle Ruins – Drawing to Painting #art

I’ve been teaching myself to paint, in acrylics for the time being. One of the better pieces I’ve painted is this castle ruin overlooking the ocean. I have been following a series of tutorials on YouTube: Painting With Jane, so I can’t take credit for the original idea. Anyway, I sketched it in charcoal and chalk first, then painted in acrylic.

For those of you who know me, this will not be a surprise. I have multiple drawings for this week because I’ve been drawing Ireland for more than a year. I did do one new sketch for the week so as not to cheat on the challenge but the rest are from the last three trips made over the past 18 months. They are; The docks on Galway Bay, Polnabroun Neolithic portal tomb in The Burren, Rockfleet: Grace O’Malley’s castle, and finally the Skellig Islands off the coast of Kerry.
