#WritersCoffeeClub 4/15: World Art Day! What visual artist is most present in your work?

My cover for Taliesin was done by the talented Anya Semizhonova.

Otherwise there's no particular visual artist that finds its way into my work. Sometimes I sketch a scene or two for fun of my characters. Here's one I did on the plane yesterday of Jib and Kyla. (The black thing in the distance is the unforgiving basalt desert)

Pencil/Charcoal sketch of two figures from behind standing on a chopped down stump overlooking an expansive landscape. A black desolate area half surrounds three tall pine trees in the distance with vines covering their roots. The figure on the left is feminine and wearing a basic warrior's tunic and pleated skirt. She points into the distance. The figure on the right is boyish and is bracing himself against a chip of wood protruding from the stump, evidently out of breath.

Abir Khalil | Pet Artist 🇨🇦
Here's the finished piece of the bulldog. It's the smallest pet portrait I've attempted, and I'm pleased with the level of detail I could achieve. I'm hesitant to work any smaller than this though as I fear the details may be compromised.

I typically enjoy working with Canson Mi-Teintes paper for charcoal, but for this piece, I decided to experiment with pastelmat paper.
It posed some challenges, particularly in filling the tooth of the paper and also because I chose a white paper to work with for a dark subject, but I still enjoyed the process.

The reference photo of Emmi was graciously shared by my friend, Britta Feldmann, who is a cop by profession and a phenomenal photographer by passion.

Title: EMMI
Medium: Charcoal on Pastlemat
Size: 9x12''
Year: 2024

Steve Henderson Fine Art

She stopped in the midst of placing the pin in her hair, suddenly struck by a thought that she needed to intently run through in her mind.

Have you ever done that? Needed to think something through so fixedly that you can't move anything beyond the blinking of your eyes?

Truly amazing, are the human mind and spirit.
