Trying to go along with the road trip. We had an extended stay on the east coast. A quick stop in Blacksburg, VA to pick up and drop off art work at the Matrix Gallery. I will post what's hanging there as it gets closer to National Forest Week, Sept. 24-30th. Hint: it might be trees!
Up 81 to Maryland, I spent a week at McDaniel College, teaching at Common Ground on the Hill. It was a great week, we had Dawn Harry from the #Hashawha #Environmental Center bring #Raptors from the rescue program. The class was based on drawing birds with pastels. Started with charcoal study of feathers. Moving into drawing from live birds with graphite and charcoal. Finished works from the photographs taken from our models in pastel.
Here is a little step by step of how to draw a owl in graphite.

| Look at large shapes, note reference line |

| Add darks |

| To bring out lights, add dark beside the lights. |

| Mid-tones to dark's watch the direction of the feathers |
