The Property

Since the property is unimproved, working drawings of the site structure are provided in the four images below. The architectural rendering that you see at the top of this post, was created from these four elevation working drawings.

When making a rendering from blueprints, it is best to look everything over, for there are always errors in the elevations and this can catch up with you when you are doing the rendering. Watching for all the details is paramount.

Pencil Drawing For Watercolor House Portrait #282Z

  • Clinker Stylus Sketch

The pencil drawing is the start of the house portrait. If there are changes to be made, this is the time to make them. Generally, I do a light sketch to give an over all scope of the drawing. Then I detail the important parts. For example, I have taken care to make the “tower” structure to the right a part of the design, rather than an element jutting out front. This detail has to convey the message of the house design.

The other important element to the sketch is the foreshortening of the garage which is located to the left side of the house. The garage does not “come out” very far at all, as it is really a side load garage from the left elevation of the home, which cannot be seen from the angle.

Pen & Ink Drawing

  • Stylus Sketch

The pen & ink drawing is where the rubber meets the road. You cannot make any mistakes here because everything shows. Using whiteout to cover up mistakes get exposed when you apply the watercolor because it washes away the whiteout! I am careful to use the outline of the pencil as my guide when I do the pen & ink. It should be noted that I look at both the working drawings of the house at the same time that I am looking at the pencil sketch as my guide. All has to be done with care.

Steps of pen & ink drawing progression

Below you will see five pen & ink drawing is chronological sequence until the final rendering in ink.

The watercolor rendering is the final product, which can be seen below. It must be understood that this rendering was made from working drawings, or blueprints. Therefore, there is no landscaping to work with, and thus I have to create my own landscape.

Working from blueprints is always far more complicated than from a photograph, because with the later you have the image of the house right before you. Whereas, in working from blueprints you have to use your mind to create the perspective because all of the image on the blueprints are flat!

Yesterday afternoon Travis M. Brown and Rick Melone of Edward Jones financial advisors hosted an art exhibit in conjunction with the Grayslake Arts Alliance. This was a great opportunity for Edward Jones to showcase their offices along with displaying artwork of local Grayslake artists.

Edward Jones is located at 10 N. Lake Street, Suite 113, Grayslake, IL 60030. Contact information:

The reception started at 4:00 PM, and lasted until 7:00 PM with many Edward Jones clients as well as members of the Grayslake Arts Alliance in attendance.

Because the tone of the exhibit was up-beat everyone had a good time. Edward Jones offered a fine array of refreshments and things to drink. The office nicely displayed the artwork that is on display for the exhibit. This is the first of a series of exhibits that Edward Jones is doing with the Grayslake Arts Alliance.

Pencil Drawing For Watercolor House Portrait #279Z

  • Clinker Stylus Sketch

The pencil drawing is first done for layout. As you can see in the image below, I have put the note in the right spot and moved the driveway light in a bit more so that it fits well with the landscape. I can look the whole thing over to make sure that the house properly fits in the composition. If you have changes to make this is the time to make them.

I particularly like the two oaks to the far right of the composition. The branches reach out over the top of the house with look really cool. Also, I like the fir tree on the front lawn next to the lamp light.

Pen & Ink Drawing

  • Stylus Sketch

The pen & ink drawing is where the rubber meets the road. You have to get it right the first time or you are dead! You cannot use “white out” to “fix” mistakes because the watercolor washes it away. So do it right!

Below you can see how I have gone over the lines of the pencil to keep the form the same. I do not trace the image, I merely draw with pen & ink over the pencil. The pencil sketch is a guide, sort of like a prompter at the opera house. Do not worry about making it perfect. The perfect lies in you drawing with the ink. Remember, I am drawing from the photograph not the sketch.

Watercolor

  • Painting

The watercolor rendering is the last phase of the house portrait. You can easily see the work of the pen & ink below and now the fresh tones of color are applied. I have erased any of the salient pencil marks, like those on the note and part of the landscape. I like the pencil to compliment the work of art not compromise it.

Hard To Love #280Z

Hard to Love #280Z an article by artist Stephen F. Condren at Condren Galleries.

Hard to Love #280Z or Baroque Art, is an article about a lecture give by Ellenor Alcorn to members of the Buckingham Society on 18th Century Art, at the Art Institute of Chicago written by artist and United States Navy Veteran, Stephen F. Condren, BFA-SAIC, of Condren Galleries. Congratulations Ellenor Alcorn!

Posted on Google+, Facebook, Twitter, Linked-in, and Tumblr.

Buckingham Society

The Buckingham Society is a group of members of the Art Institute of Chicago, dedicated to the museum by means of planned giving. At intervals throughout the year, the Art Institute sponsors special evens such as this luncheon, as a token of appreciation to the society.

Luncheon

The luncheon was located in the Nichols Board of Trustees Suite, located on the second level of the Modern Wing. We were provided with salad to start then a savory chicken and pasta. Desert was an orange flavored kind of gelatin with fruit, because it was the closing treat.

Ellenor Alcorn

Our speaker was Ellenor Alcorn, Chair and Eloise W. Martin Curator of European Decorative Arts. Ellenor was an outstanding speaker, because she has a gift for bringing the audience into her fold.

Invitation to Hard to Love #280Z

  • Slide presentation

The topic was on five prize pieces of Baroque and Rococo Art in the museum’s collection. Ellenor’s approach was innovative, because he integrated abstract images. She wanted the audience to cast a vote on weather we approved or disapproved of a work of art by means of a “thumbs up or down”. Thus, forcing us to take an aesthetic risk on the work of art prior to her discussion of the piece. Ellenor kept us on our toes!

She wanted us to look at the Baroque and Rococo on terms outside of “too much”. Also, she brought out points in each of the works of art that added new understanding to each piece taken as a whole. This was particularly true of the Meissen porcelain centerpiece.

Bingo For Veterans #278Z

Bingo for veterans #278Z by American Legion at Great Lakes Naval Command, Condren Galleries.

This article is about the American Legion hosting Bingo for veterans #278Z at James A. Lovell Health Care Center, Naval Station Great Lakes. This article is written by artist and United States Navy Veteran, Stephen F. Condren, BFA-SAIC,of Condren Galleries. Congratulations American Legion and Veterans!

The American Legion

Because the American Legion is an organization dedicated to United States Veterans, it has made arrangements with it’s local chapter posts to serve food and refreshments to patients at Lovell Health Care Center.

Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center, Great Lakes Naval Command

Most importantly, the bingo event was held in Bourque Hall at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center, Naval Station Great Lakes, Illinois. Because Great Lakes is located in Lake County, the American Legion was there. The health care center was named in honor of Apollo 13 astronaut James A. Lovell. Three members of the Grayslake Post 659 were there to offer service. The Grayslake Post is conveniently located to Naval Station Great Lakes.

The American Legion And Bing For Veterans #278Z

  • Legion Posts

It was both an honor and a comfort to see the dedicated veterans from American Legion posts gathered together to help veteran soldiers in need of care. As a member of Grayslake American Legion Post 659, I was proud to be at this event. I was given money to hand out to each of the winners of binger. After about 45 minutes there was a break and all of the American Legion members stood at the concession table serving food and beverages to the veterans.

After about 25 minutes, the bingo game resumed and the prize money went up from $2 to $5. Everyone, however, was a winner! Because I was able to assist those in need, I felt like the greatest winner. God bless America!

Stephen F. Condren And Bingo For Veterans #278Z

  • Artist

As an artist I observe and study the figures and the space bingo for the composition of future artwork. Whenever I walk into a space I am immediately aware of the perspective of the room and the elements in that space. For example, if you look at the hall in the photos above you can see the images of the people receding in scale to their size as you go from the lens back to the stage.

Bourque Hall

Bourque Hall is located in Building #4 on the naval base and is close to the center core of buildings that comprise the James A. Lovell Health Care Center. The interior architecture of the room is Colonial and in the front is a nice size stage for performing ceremonies and giving announcements.

The hall is rectangular in shape and offers ample room for large gatherings. There is a small kitchen and service booth in the rear of the room. For the most part we post members served the food and drinks and then we cleared the tables. Other American Legion members went back out to the veterans and finished handing out the cash prices to the winners.

Nosferatu Pencil Drawing #277Z

Nosferatu pencil drawing #755A of a vampire with shading that brings out the terror of the monster.

This article is about Nosferatu pencil drawing #277Z, which is for sale here, and written by artist and United States Navy Veteran, Stephen F. Condren, BFA, SAIC, of Condren Galleries, a Fine Arts Gallery, with JPEG & PDF scans and prints.

Posted on Google+, Facebook, Twitter, Linked-in, and Tumblr.

The Motion Picture

This drawing is based upon the famous 1922 German film of the vampire Count Orlok by Friederich Wilhelm Murnau. The film was based on the famous novel of Dracula by Bram Stoker. However, due to copyright issues the film was banned in Germany and many of the original copies were destroyed.

Intent

My intention for this drawing is to bring out the character of Count Orlok and not to copy a photograph. If there is anything that is more boring or lame for an artist to do, it is to copy photos. The practice of copying photos is excellent when learning how to develop drawing skills, but it is only the excercise, not the art.

The pencil drawing of the count was first done very lightly and then as I progressed I used hatching and cross-hatching to bring in more detail. In the drawing below you can see the lighter sketch below the hatching.

Pen & Ink Drawing

  • Stylus Sketch

The pencil drawing below I have increased the hatching and delineated the contour lines of the face and hand. Because of the intense cross-hatching near the edge of Count Orolk’s face, there is an added mood of suspense to the image. The cross-hatching is nice for making prints because lines show up very clearly on reproductions.

Pencil Drawing For Watercolor house portrait #276Z

  • Clinker Stylus Sketch

The pencil drawing is the foundation of the house portrait. As you can see from the sketch below I have captured the image of the house precisely. The photo of the home was distorted making it recede down to the left, so I adjusted the perspective to a more natural view.

All that you need in the sketch is the simple clean line. I do not busy up the preliminary sketch with shade and shadows, that is not that task at hand.

Because the large ornamental tree and flowers were blocking the right side of the house, I moved them over to the right so as to get a clear view of the entire structure.

Pen & Ink Drawing

  • Stylus Sketch

The pen & ink drawing is where the rubber meets the road! There is no turning back at this point and you have to do it right! Once the ink hits the paper it is final, just like a house closing. You cannot use white out or other gimmicks to cover over mistakes because when you apply the watercolor it washes all the white out away! What you see is what you get.

In the drawing below you can see that I have carefully followed the outline given to me from the pencil sketch from above. I enhanced the tree behind the house to have grace to the composition. Generally, I do not put ink on the background trees but this drawing seemed to call for it.

Watercolor

  • Painting

The watercolor is very carefully applied because you cannot go back and fix it. Since watercolor is transparent you can see everything, so you have to set the colors in place correctly the first time.

On both sides of the composition I have put a touch of red for the Norway Maples which are there. The sidewalk and steps are brick pavers and so I used a touch of red and brown to bring out those tones.

Pencil Drawing For Watercolor House Portrait #275Z

  • Clinker Stylus Sketch

The pencil drawing of the house portrait is the first thing that I do. This is just like the basement foundation of a house, for though it is rough and crude, it is what everything is build upon.

Pen & Ink Drawing

  • Stylus Sketch

The pen & ink is then applied after I finish the preliminary pencil sketch. Due to the nature of pen & ink you have to be very careful and precise for it is most unforgiving. What you see is what you get. Also, you cannot “escape” from your errors with “white out” or other gimmicks to cover up a mistake. This is because once you put the watercolor on the paper it dissolves the “mask” and exposes the ink underneath.

Watercolor

  • Painting

The watercolor is the last step in the process of producing the rendering. As you can see from the image below the ink clearly delineates the subject and the watercolor graciously compliment the landscape. I particularly enjoy the ornamental hedges at the center of the front lawn. The bulbous forms are a delight to look at.

Road Home Program

Ashton Kroner of Road Home Program, spoke on what she was offering to Veterans of all walks of life, and regardless of the discharge status. The Road Home Program is affiliated with Rush Edu. The Road Home Program is an out patient program that has a treatment window of time ranging from one to approximately 25 days. Road Home Program is not a residential program. However, it works in tandem with other agencies that can assist Veterans with those needs.

Karyn Davidman

We were all honored by the presence of Karyn Davidman, Casework Director for Congressman Bradley S. Schneider. Because Karyn brought up points that were germane to women’s issues and Veterans, she enriched the discourse of this seminar. Most importantly, Karyn was able bring out the resources of the different Veterans at the table. Karyn Davidman was “Sine quo none”.

Enrichment

Clearly as different people came to the table with their life stories pertaining to women’s issues and the Military a sense of camaraderie and fellowship came to fore. Sharing, understanding, and open mindedness to all issues regarding women, the Military, was at hand. Above all, answers to difficult questions, and solutions were made manifest right on the spot by an attorney, educators, and caseworkers. Truly, this was a seminar that enriched the lives of all that attended and it can be said that we all walked away as better people from it.
