Well, hello there! It’s been a while since I posted, I know. A bajillion things have happened since then. (That sounds like a big number because it is. Bajillion. It’s way big. But maybe slightly fewer than an actual bajillion occurred.) Also, a lot of ART has occurred (yay, me!) especially the sketchy kind… so maybe it’s better to just start where I am instead of trying to show it ALL to you today. So, here is today’s post. A piece ‘commissioned’ by the Southeastern Newfoundland Club (near and dear to my heart) I’m super proud of this piece!! I will list my supplies here, and also links where I can. Just know that I am in the Amazon Associates program, and if you purchase from Amazon using their links, I receive a very small benefit. (It does not cost you extra, and I appreciate your support! But always shop around. I only link supplies I really enjoy, and try to find the best price at the time, but their prices can fluctuate quite noticeably) Products I used:

-A.Gallo watercolors. (Check out her site if you are interested … I love her paint. She offers it maybe once every month or two and the day it goes on sale I buy a little. And a brush. 🙂

–Faber-Castell Pitt Artist pens… my new favorites. (I did not know they were India Ink! So nice and dark… and lightfast… and WATERPROOF! And the tips seem to hold up better than microns!)

-Fluid 12″x12″ hot press “Easy-block” watercolor paper (this paper is working well for me so far, but has a definite learning curve for me (I think hot press vs cold press is the thing). I’m not posting a link yet because I haven’t decided about it. But I do enjoy Fluid blocks.)

Soon this will be available for anyone to order from their website! I will update with a link once I have one. All purchases made would support the Southeastern Newfoundland Club.

I’d love to know what you think? It’s a bunch of newfies on their way to their water test. Or just a day of swimming and boating fun? I think it’s pretty cute!

Go back

Inktober day 16: Wild

From the movie poster for “Wild” … Not a fabulous representation of Reese Witherspoon, I know. But when I think back to where I was a year ago, I’m happy with my progress. 🙂

The Girl With Green Hair, 5/25/19

I was asked to paint (draw? sketch?) a Girl With Green Hair. I had planned to make her very cartoonish, with exaggerated features, and maybe make her skin or lips/eyes green, too, maybe clothes as well, but I found a reference photo that inspired me (I did not see a name though, I’m sorry!) and decided to just do her like a girl. But with green hair. Not so unusual these days anyway.

Baohong cotton watercolor paper

Uniball Air pen… I’ve gotten several new uniball pens I love. I’ll link them in future posts, but feel free to ask in the comments if you can’t wait and I’ll link there.

Schmincke watercolors: Helio turquoise, caput mortum, naples yellow reddish, perylene violet, olive green yellowish. and a touch of phthalo green, but I think that mostly washed away when I switched to the helio..

At the beach!! My favorite.

Some beach-goers (and Donna 🙂

It was a beautiful evening, perfect for being outside. Okay, actually, the wind was an inconvenience to the paints and the paper, but felt so lovely that it was worth it!

Day 5, 30×30 challenge: Cozy Door,6/5/18

June 5, 2018Posted in UncategorizedTagged cozy door, EEM handmade watercolor, painting, sketch, watercolorLeave a comment

My neighbor has moved (sad!!) so I made this little sketch of her front door to give her. Now that I’m looking at it again, I wish I’d tried it several times and gotten a feel for it, then given her the best attempt. It’s too late, I’ve already given it. I think I could do better with practice, but I’m happy with it. Also, I’m working on not using pencil, and letting little mistakes be part of the art of it, so I need to just let it go.

Supplies:

EEM Handmade Watercolors (Burnt Sienna, Mais, Tia)

Daniel Smith’s Bloodstone Genuine, for the shadows

And a couple teensy touches of some Schmincke paints, only to adjust greens a bit (I only have the three colors by EEM)

Strathmore 140 lb Ready Cut 100% cotton cold press 5×7 paper, (linked here at Amazon, currently, for $6.38)

Uniball DELUXE black pen, .5mm

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… 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.
