This was a quick sketch with minimal details depicting my older son enjoying the swing at our neighborhood park. It took him a little while to learn the proper body motion and physics behind swinging. He needed to be pushed until he was 8. His joy knew no bounds the day he figured out to propel himself.
Painted this on my younger son’s 6th birthday. During the pandemic, he developed a new hobby of collecting stamps.
Last year, I rediscovered some of my old sketches I created with pencils and watercolor during my middle and high school years.
Napoleon’s grand army on its way back from Russia: This sketch was from August 1, 1993 when I was in 8th grade. I sketched this on my notebook with pencil and watercolor. I used a reference picture from a book on USSR history, the details of which I don’t recall.
The following one is my own portrait using graphite pencil and watercolor from July 24, 1995.
