colors

I have quite a bit of traveling planned this Summer...from NYC to Copenhagen to Venice to Berlin and a few more spots. Very much looking forward to all the different colors, cities, and cultures in the coming weeks.

Doodle with ballpen+vectorized+add colors

My favorite time of year is almost here. The cool breezy air, the colors and smells. The sounds of the last crickets, the mood of the sky. I could go on and on. This was A fun piece to work on. What will the next challenge bring?

A foggy morning opens up to a burnt landscape. I wanted to paint a couple of different environments in one painting but still aim to be refined. I used fall colors and smaller lines.

Holbein watercolors and Noodlers 41 Brown ink on 6"x8" Strathmore mixed-media paper. Drawn with a Pilot Custom 823 loaded with an extra-fine nib.

"Jungle Cat" Drawn with a Pilot Falcon SEF using Platinum Carbon Ink and painted with Holbein watercolors.

I wanted a fierce pose and landed on a good side-eye. Used really strong colors and a digital oil application

Wanted to keep it simple while working on blending watercolors. I hope the highlights are nice, and the muted palette makes you reflect.

Second drawing in my Doodle Addicts sketchbook. I have other marker colors but I could probably get by with just these.

It called to me on a rustic fall day. Doodling with watercolors.

"Quick, Stop the Bully Drop!" v2.0, redrawn and colored with Holbein watercolors, 9"x12".

Happy Thanksgiving! This is "Sunday Wonderland," colored with Holbein watercolors on 6x8 paper. May your Thanksgiving be as bright & happy as pictured here! (And may you ride a horse-thing, too.)

First piece of art for 2025. Still working on botanical watercolors. Im in love with the background tho.

Wee watercolour sketch of Donkey Orchids from the forest near Greenbushes.

I start to create more drawings with colors

It's starting to feel a little bit fall-like around here so I'm playing with some new colors.

I took a portrait collage course, and this is my first project. Fidelia Bridges painted incredible watercolors and landscapes, and the instructor assigned her as the subject.

A experimental combination of abstract, geometric lines with organic shapes of gum leaves. Pen, watercolour and masking fluid.

I have been watching a lot of sci-fiction lately. Like so many others my age or younger, the weight of global warming sits on my shoulders constantly. I imagined the final trek through a wormhole as someone sees their new solar system for the first time. I enjoy the bright colors and such but wish I conveyed a more bittersweet emotion.

These horses were so much fun to draw. I used a Uni Posca marker with Daniel Smith watercolors. I was going to a craft fair and wanted to try out making stickers with Sticker Mule. It is a super easy process. The sticker is 1 inch in diameter.

I've been separating out some floral arrangements and experimenting with colors.

loving autumn colors this year.

...having fun with these seasonal colors.

I've been playing around with this different colors on this floral pattern.

The tables were covered in white paper. Crayons, pastels, and smooth sticks waited quietly. Then came Lucy’s glittery purse—her 8-year-old hands had filled it with stones to pass along, one by one, to the strangers around the table. We traced them. Pushed them. Held them. Then we let the colors lead: -Red for emotion. -Yellow for curiosity. -Blue for memory. Each color came with music, with story, with space. At the Museum of Wisconsin Art, we made marks not for meaning but for presence. Thank you to Ann Marie and MOWA for the invitation and trust. And thank you to the participants—some new friends, some old students—for showing up and making lines that listened before they spoke.

Look at this cutey—a shoebill stork done in watercolors. I wanted to do something different from botanicals but still practice simple watercolors.
