I draw in pencil, pen and ink, and oil. Early Birds is a line dance in pen and ink. To see more pen and ink drawings (embellished with collage), go to the catalog page and look at works titled Strata.

Cactus 4-9 and Cactus Party are oil transfer drawings. The process involves placing paper onto a film of oil paint and drawing on the back of the paper. Paul Gauguin created oil transfer drawings (using oil based print inks). Paul Klee, a Swiss 20th century master I admire very much, created oil transfer drawings embellished with watercolor.

To see additional oil transfer drawings, go to the catalog page.
