river

I know that the river is a little off the perspective that the painting is done in, but everything else looks to scale.

Inktober day 5. “Well,” Bob offered with a dry sweetness, “for sure it’s better than something worse.” Rain on the river Jim Dodge #dailyDrawing #Inktober #inktober2025

Chilling by a river

Painted as my final project for my Painting Environments course. I was super nervous about tackling this one, but learned a ton taking this course. I'm happy to move on to the next one. :-) Ironwood Forest Project parameters: - Forest full of massive trees - Implied path - River rambling through tree roots - Waterfall

Shorter on time, just a little bit with rocks and water.

...Macon, Georgia! When in Macon make sure you visit the downtown area...oh yeah...and the Shoppes at Rivercrossing!

If marrying Emory 'Lyrander' Lorelei was necessary for improving the future of Rekkenmark it is what he would do. He mustered a nervous smile sweeping into a chivalrous bow when Kukta cawed from her perch. "A pleasure to make your acquaintance Miss Lorelei. He extended a hand to help her down from the riverboat doing his best to ignore the mistrustful expression on her face.

Acrylic on river rock. Believe it or not, except for the sun, I only painted over lines that were naturally in the rock...you can even faintly see the outline of another saguaro to the right of the shadowed one!

Another painting I made, of a parc near my home.

Ohio River at Louisville. Flooded. On what should have been Derby Day 2020.

A 30 minute sketch of a screwdriver. Done on printer paper using only a mechanical pencil. A highlighter for a splash of color and a Kleenex for shading.

I need to work on perspective...the river is not how I invisioned

So I'm a little behind the curve, but here's my day 1 for Inktober. This was my first time using my fountain pen for drawing, so I can't complain too much. There's definitely some room to grow. Lined with a TWSBI Eco: fine nib with Organics Studio Walden ink on Tomoe River paper. I'm a sucker for sheen, what can I say. The sad attempt at shading was done with a wet paper towel, so I'm guessing I could try upgrading my technique there ;D

Sky compete. Onto trippy grassy area and river water
