pen and ink

As it says!

This just happened, and that's all I can say really.

Ink & watercolor on 5x5 Arches cold press.

This time last year I was in the midst of starting off my (then) new sketchbook... And what do I find myself doing tonight? Sticking to the same script with yet another one, that’s what!

Son of a Sun. Ink & watercolor on 5"x5" Arches cold press.

A more unusual interpretation of the mermay theme some of us are fond of. Also, new sketchbook time is fast approaching!

It's all about masks and disguises.

Computers with literal mouses? Yep, it's that kind of day here!

"Kids, gather around. It's time to show you who your real father is." Ink & watercolor on 5x5 Arches cold press.

Monday motivation...of a sorts (it's technically Tuesday on my side of the pond, but whatever).

Pretty much what it says.

Life in lockdown/business as always.

A fairly special one for me this week, as today’s post is inspired by what would have been the time of Beltane celebrations. As it is, we celebrated at home in our own little ways, and in the case of myself indulging in my usual habits! Drinking and of course drawing, the usual stuff...

A spot of Monday motivation!

Draw series of pines at Hailuoto island. There is many beautifull pines. Not a tall but quite thick and hardy stubborn trees

Something earthy.

Tuesday night (or is Wednesday morning?) is alright for improvising, that much is true.

In the immortal words of Jim Carrey...ssssssssssmokin'!

Magnolias are spring harbingers in our garden, as well as our annual ornamental cherry display. Star magnolias are over, tulip magnolias are in full swing, and the occasional Southern magnolia is starting. Perhaps I should have done this with a gouache paint, but I used colored pencils. Oh well. Outlined after with various sizes of Pigma Micron pens. Our garden: www.edgewoodgarden.com

Yesterday's (Sunday) morning project.

Markers on paper

When your local art store drops by your house to drop off new supplies, that's the perfect excuse to crack on with new projects!
