Sketches for new Queen City Scenes collection

Some of the work-in-progress digital paintings and sketches in my ProCreate app.

Before embarking on this new collection and goal of “12 masterpieces” in 2022 I have been doing some electronic sketches and studies using the iPad and the app Procreate. Above are some of the sketches I have been producing over the winter.

I’ve been trying to get into the practice of documenting scenes and the effects of different times of day and the light, as well as the atmospheric gas affects of the clouds.

I’ve been also trying to get interesting vantage points and views of urban landscapes that might resonate with other people.

Once I build up this collection of subject matter and I plan to start experimenting with a variety of production methods:

- multicolor Serigraphs

- serigraph watercolor monoprints

- polyester lithography

- letterpress, magnesium plates

- woodcuts

- engravings (but need to teach myself)

- acrylic  and oil paintings

- watercolor paintings (maybe studies)

- pen and ink drawings
