FASHION SKETCHES
Oh Yeah, I Like Fashion.
I was flipping through a couple sketchbooks of mine and found these great drawings of some different outfits I made up. They range in years from 2015 – 2018. I have no idea why I didn’t post them in the past, but hey, here they are now. Continue reading “FASHION SKETCHES”
DOODLING WITH INK 2
Getting Doodles Out of My System
My last post Doodling With Ink was inspired by Inktober, but now it’s November and there are still tile ideas that are aching to get out onto paper. Continue reading “DOODLING WITH INK 2”
DOODLING WITH INK
Doodles of Fun!
Over the past few years, I kept hearing about “Inktober”. My understanding of it is that you do a drawing in ink every day of October and post it. This is supposed to encourage growth for the artist.
I’ve never given Inktober too much thought because I make lots of errors and like to erase a lot. This is also why I like painting because you can cover mistakes up with fresh paint. A pen (or ink) is very bold and when a mistake is made, it’s very obvious and hard correct. White-out looks terrible when trying to fix mistakes. I also feel that I shouldn’t have to do any major fixes in photoshop. I don’t know, maybe there’s a trick I’m not aware of.
However, this year (2018), I decided to do some doodling in my sketchbook with a black pen, not really committing to it but giving it a try. Continue reading “DOODLING WITH INK”
NIGHT TIME SUMMER’S SNOW
On My Own…
After painting with Bob Ross in my last post (see Painting With Bob Ross), I decided to try these newly acquired tricks on my own. I had just watched him do a painting on a black canvas and thought it would be really cool to try it out. Continue reading “NIGHT TIME SUMMER’S SNOW”
PAINTING WITH BOB ROSS
The Splendor of Autumn…
I’ve known about Bob Ross as long as I can remember. I even watched an episode or two when they were airing on T.V. I thought they were terribly boring at the time.
In the last year or so, I keep hearing Bob Ross this, Bob Ross that. You should watch Bob Ross, memes memes memes. And I’m like, “What’s going on? What’s so great about Bob Ross?” Continue reading “PAINTING WITH BOB ROSS”
STRUGGLING
When Things Just Won’t Work…
I am presenting to you four incomplete pieces of work. Two of them aren’t terrible, while the other two I didn’t get far because my hand and brain were not in sync, and I stopped rather than struggling forward because I didn’t want to spend time on something that wasn’t even close to what I wanted it to be. Continue reading “STRUGGLING”
ROCK PAINTING
Rock Collecting Takes a New Level…
I have this thing with rocks. I think they are so interesting and pretty, especially if they sparkle. Continue reading “ROCK PAINTING”
RAINBOW FLOWER
Acrylic vs. Watercolour Paint III…
I was taking pictures of my garden with my awesome little camera that puts magical filters on the photo, and one picture came out with a rainbow filter. I decided this picture would be great for doing another watercolour vs. acrylic paint post. Continue reading “RAINBOW FLOWER”
CANCUN WAVES
Practice Practice Practice!
I was watching people paint water on good ol’ YouTube, and I had an idea to paint some water pictures too as I have some of my own photos from when I was in Cancun, Mexico to reference.
As I am not around water often, I actually don’t have much if any experience with the concept of water; how it moves, the depth, or reflection of light. But hey, I thought I’d give it a go. Continue reading “CANCUN WAVES”
