"Fab Four" Dean

Close up

This is mixed media. Acrylic washes used as watercolor...Tombow and Pitt Pens...graphite and colored pencil.. On watercolor paper.

I did this a few days ago for Liz Holm's collection. It was a joy to see her artwork on the decorated box containing the watercolor sheets. It was also a treat to see Adebanji's superb drawing! Liz's theme is portraits of any kind.

I decided to attempt an illustration of the Beatles..the Fab Four. I like doing star portraits because they are so recognizable. I enjoyed drawing stars from the movie mags as a youngster.

I tried to take the attitude of an illustrator for this one because I am fascinated by their work. I wanted to keep the colors more inventive as opposed to realism.

Get ready for it, Vern. It started on it's way to you on Thursday. Canada, here it comes!

This is my entry into Adebanji's book. His theme is the Homeless and the Poor.

We are participating in a group called "The Flying Moleskins". Each member has their own sketch book. He/she makes a drawing and sends the book to the next artist. Get ready, Vern...here it comes.

My Ohio county has around 8oo homeless. God loves the unlovable.
