The Dark. How are other people finding time to draw with the schools closed and your four year old on top of you 24/7? There's a story by Lemony Snicket called The Dark. I really enjoyed making the closet shadow, so there you go. This actually started with my raincoat beckoning to me for many days.

Sunset Palm trees Study. Watercolour on Cold Pressed paper 6 x 8. March 25, 2020.

Sunset beach. Watercolour Study. March 21, 2020. Finally getting a bit quicker and trying to use lighter strokes and not be heavy handed.

Sunset Clouds study. Watercolour. March 20, 2020. I found this extremely difficult. I've only ever painted clouds in Oil paint and it was much easier. I'm still working on painting lighter and quicker, but I found it a challenge to mitigate. I'll paint this again once my skills have advanced more.

Second attempt at watercolor pencils and acrylics.

coloured pencil study based on *Lilith* by Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Sunset. Gouache study... March 3, 2020.

Upset Ghost. Block print drawing with coffee, watercolor, and ink.

From this week’s #timelapsetuesday

Sunset. I made this work while I was searching for innerpeace and to reconnect with my feelings. It's pastel on paper (I think 60x80?)

Inspired by deepak's arts and crafts fb video.

This piece was done in graphite. It took me about 6 hours over the course of a few days. I didn’t love how the rider turned out, but this was my first time drawing a rider so I’m not too upset about it ;) Let me know what you think! Constructive criticism is always appreciated! :)

I feel like my landscapes have very traditional colors so i tried to make these look bright and exaggerated but still hold the same base color. Let me know what you think.

Sunset

This is a recreate of a picture that I took in San Antonio Texas.

Putting down sketch for future show....

A Challenge set by a friend. Graphite then digital.

Millegrain decoration is when metal is used to create a 'beading' effect, usually around the setting of a ring. The small feature can make a ring appear much more ornate than most, at very little extra cost!

Just a sunset shot on the tracks

Fiery sunset painted with acrylic gouache on canvas board. One of my breakthrough works, developing into my own creative style.

Drawing on a PC... with a mouse..

Thought I make it fun and play with color with this one! ;P

First time using a scrap of paper and the width of the eye as a baseline measurement for setting out the scale & reference

When a ring is bezel set, the metal setting holding the gemstones in place lies close to the stone, creating a line of metal around the edge of the stone. Trilogy rings are any rings that prominently feature three gemstones. Sometimes the gemstones are a uniform size, and sometimes one stone - usually the central stone - is larger than the others.

This was a compilation of poses, 30 second sketches, and a new character body type for a game I want to make. And also a random portrait.

Here is a painting I made from observation on the top of Mont Bélair in Canada, just before sunset. I am painting those in a 5x8 very convenient moleskin watercolor book. I previously eyeballed the dimensions of this book at 4x6 when I had no ruler to verify but I was slightly wrong. Now the info is exact. :)

An excercise in negative painting with my set of bister inks. I wasn't completely happy with the results - the bister ink was not as transparent as i expected it to be.
