I know nothing of chess and I am lov'in this series. I need to learn. I know these are sketches, does that mean you will take these farther, like to canvas and oil?
Karen, thanks! I'm using oil pastels in rough strokes then a bristle brush with turp where I want to soften and blur the lines.
I wouldn't have thought to do this if it wasn't that my daughter cleaned out her closet and gave me her old set of oil pastels. I hate oil pastels, -used to hate oil pastels. They just needed a little turp to be dissolved into submission.
Dori, have someone patient teach you to play. It's such a great game of strategy. I just played a match with my son and he didn't beat me in five moves for once... still won though.
My plan is to get a good feel for drawing the pieces then hopefully do some large paintings. We'll see what develops.
Played chess a lot as a kid....these bring back some great memories! Silvina, these chess piece's are stunning! Love the light, crop and overall compositons!...I'm subscribing!

Knight takes bishop. I'm hooked on this series already.

Wow! Nice "sketch". It looks finished to me.
Denny, sounds like a good move! I'm already working on the next one.

Diana, you know, maybe I should call them studies. (?)

Hola Bruno, muchas gracias! Aprendi a jugar ajedrez en Buenos Aires cuando era muy chica. Me estoy sintiendo nostalgiosa.
