Jun 2012 – Empire State Building

Each drawing of my Loring Art Calendar 2012 is a tribute to one of my favorite artists. As I said it is a way of thanking them for uploading their artworks to the Internet. While they are sharing their work for free, we are enjoying and learning.

The June sketch is inspired by a drawing by Leslie White. It was not easy to select a Leslie’s painting, all of them are fantastic and very inspiring. I chose a watercolor of the Empire State Building on a mixture of gesso. The painting looks awesome and the whole post is very interesting. Leslie, thank you for sharing all those wonderful experiences. I used a photo by Ben Bunch as reference.

The April sketch is inspired by a drawing by Debbie Adams. As many of you know, her drawing of Cape Hatteras is used in a Derwent package. I have already seen the package and it was one of my favorite drawings. Then, I discovered her wonderful blog and I learned who was the author. Internet is cool thing. Thank you, Deb, this one’s for you.

Mar 2012 – Old Davis City Hall

Each drawing of my Loring Art Calendar 2012 is a tribute to one of my favorite artists. As I said it is a way of thanking them for uploading their artworks to the Internet. While they are sharing their work for free, we are enjoying and learning.

The March sketch is based on a series of drawings by Pete Scully. It is the Old City Hall building in Davis, California. It was built in 1938 and it has since served as a fire station, a police station and now, a restaurant. I have used a photo by Gray Brechin as reference.
