"In his loving memory"

Did this portrait in the memory of a great person who believed in sharing knowledge selflessly. A great motivator, mentor, teacher, critique, friend of many, who brought together many like minded artistic souls from diverse fields of work and from around the globe to share and learn together the universal language of visual art. He made people believed in their ability to create art with great inspirations and passion. An architect by profession, he was a traveler, a great photographer and an amazing sketcher in his own unique way. He has left a legacy of artistic knowledge behind him for others to learn from. In his own words - "All that's not given is lost".

Rest in peace, Jorge Royan. You'll be remembered with love for a long time.

He passed away recently.

Tinted drawing paper test

I found this tinted cool grey Fabriano, 160 gsm paper sometime back at Landmark store and wanted to give it a try. This A4 size paper has some linear texture and suppose to be for dry mediums like pastel, charcoal, graphite. I experimented here with graphite and white Conte, so far it's working well. Will test some more with other mediums like pen & ink and gouache. You can also notice a swatch of brown Conte on top amongst the other one.

Here's another set of sketches I did on this cool grey tinted paper from Fabriano. I am finding it very interesting to work on the tinted paper as it is forcing me to observe, contemplate and work both in terms of light and dark values while still maintaining as much as possible of the mid values of the paper untouched. I am also finding this a great way of doing value studies than a normal white paper. The top left sketch is my smallest watercolor box. The two windows are sketched from a house nearby.
