Then I added tomboy marker but wished I hadn’t:

City Block Sketch 8/21/19
Just ink on 300lb cold press watercolor paper… I may add some color, but I’m undecided. This one will be for sale in my Etsy shop soon… I’ll make a post for that when it happens!
Did you find the kitty? Or the bird?
100 people in a week???
So the challenge was 100 people in a week. I didn’t. I only participated one time, while stuck in a waiting room. All these people were waiting, too. 🙂
My favorite (he is SPOT ON!!!) :
So. A fail for the challenge, but a win for me. I never would have just sat and sketched people without it.
PS. The advent of the personal cell phone aka pocket computer and entertainment system has really been an urban artist’s dream come true. Everybody just sits still.
Wonder Cow! (paper doll outfit) 5/12/2018
I’ve already shown you the card I drew for Mothers Day Storytime at the restaurant… I almost forgot to draw a new paper doll outfit… Â The mild mannered Cow mascot can now dress as Wonder Cow any time there’s trouble nearby!
Now we have The Cow Paper Doll (pardon me… The Cow PAPER ACTION FIGURE!!), a St Patrick’s Day outfit, a beekeeper’s suit and accessories, and a super hero costume.
The kids loved storytime today, and so did the moms!! They liked knowing their Cows would have more outfits later, too.
Best Storytime yet!
5/9/2018: Mothers Day card for story time
Yes, it is Chick-fil-A Virginia Beach Blvd Story Time again! I’ve got two or three adorable books to read, and planning on milk and cookies, like the previous times, and drew this card for the kids to work on. I’m thinking we could use the card on Fathers Day or Grandparents Day, too, if we want to. The kids can color the front,
write their name inside,
and add flower stickers inside the card on the left, or on the envelope (or both)
…plus the child can ‘sticky’ in a coupon for a nice free frosted beverage or iced coffee, for mommy (or whomever they choose to honor this Mothers Day).
This is a prototype… the copies will have no wrinkles or indentations, and come with an envelope. 🙂 Hopefully the kids will have fun! (I did)
May 6, 2018: Tulip sketch (ink)
From the photo I used a week or so ago to do this watercolor sketch:
My more detailed pen sketch, to which I will add color:
April 20: Cow paper doll accessories
So, SERIOUSLY, April 9th was my last post??? Good grief. No wonder I’ve been feeling stressed. I did some playing around with paint late last week, which I didn’t post, but this week I’ve done NOTHING, and been irritated with myself for it. I want to say I’ve been working too much. And I HAVE. But honestly I have also binge watched the new Lost in Space Netflix series so… yeah. Choices. And moderation. I do poorly with either.
Yesterday I completed an outfit for the paper doll I drew last month for a children’s event at Chick-fil-A. We are having a beekeeper come in tomorrow to talk with the kids about, well, BEES, and keeping them. Among other things. So The Cow now has a lovely beekeeper’s suit. Woo-hoo! Not exactly fine art, but really fun to draw anyway.
Remember this Cow paper doll?
Now he (??) has a St Patrick’s Day outfit and a beekeeper’s suit. We may need to develop the wardrobe a bit. I’m thinking a dress for Mother’s Day and a suit for Father’s Day. After all… a cow is obviously a She. Yet we often refer to this one as a He. And the kids can dress him/her however they like, and pretend it is male or female or neither or both…. Ooooh, I think I’ll make some superhero cow clothes as well!!! (Hey maybe that’s what I’ll make for Mother’s Day…) Wonder Woman for Mother’s Day and Superman for Father’s Day??
Tues 2/20/18 Starbucks
(For some reason this post was in the draft section of my blog, unpublished! So I’m posting it now, Â 6 weeks later)
My first attempt at “urban sketching”. It was so much harder for me to do on site than I expected! AND these ladies were much cuter in person.
Look how adorable this tiny little watercolor journal is. It has a nice leather-ish cover, a ribbon bookmark, an elastic band that holds it shut, and even a long fold out panoramic page in back.
This is the link to this 4″x4″ watercolor journal by Field Artist…
It is so nice, really heavy paper, under $15. ($12.99 right now) There’s a 5″x5″ one as well HERE, for $1 more, if the first is too small for you (The 4″ is VERY tiny… but also very portable!) And then this 4″x6.5″ watercolor journal from the same company… Right now it’s $14.95, and I do love this shape and size. Very useful. All of these are nice travel books. (although honestly I don’t take them anywhere often, I love working in them here and having them available IN CASE I want to go OUT and paint. 🙂
AND all of them will fit right inside the front pocket of the tiny purse I’m using as a travel art bag. (individually, I mean) … (The purse is a cute mini crossbody made by Vera Bradley, something from years ago that I really never got into. It is PERFECT)
Go paint something!
