My Chilean Friend Juan as a Confederate Cavalry Officer

 

My Chilean friend, Juan Godos makes and sells reproduction Lido toy soldiers. He also does military reenactment such as the 1870s Pacific War uniforms. As he has a special interest in the American Civil War so I painted him as a Confederate cavalry officer.

  Materials: Acrylics, colored pencils, water colors and fine liners.

Drawing of Fantasy Figurines

 My 'other hobby' is collecting small figurines and painting the actual figurines that might also find their way into wargames. I love rummaging around Sunday markets and picking u the odd figurine; you can learn more about the actual figurines on my Quantrill's Toy Soldiers blog.

  Anyhow, recently I have taken to also drawing some of the figurines. This piece is drawn with fine-liners and colored pencils.

Royal Melbourne Dental Hospital

 O Monday I went to Royal Melbourne dental Hospital Emergency section. I got there at 7 AM and was either the first or second to get there. in the waiting foyer, in a glass display was an exquisite Aboriginal possum skin cloak.

  There were some good subjects for drawing. The lady with walker had a book about cats and a bag with at pictures on it. She was going to have to spend a very large amount for her black and white moggy at the vet.

 I assumed these two were mother (right) and daughter. The windows were an interesting shape and framed a passing Spencer Street train.
