Umm the oil pastel is a little messy but ok.

its just nature lol

Thar she blows, as they say :-P

It's all about gastropods and the changing of seasons in my world right now. :-)

Somewhat right! Also, new Washi tape time :-)

Finding edges is a conversation between values. That sounds political. Like Ruskin's observation that drawing is soiling the paper delicately.

Meanwhile, in a shark infested alternate reality...

Linocut from my previous post

I want the composition to be thoughtful but on the sad side. My skill practice was brush strokes and blending (but not overdoing the blending) as I try to figure out how I stylize as an artist. Still working in the realm of realism and proportions as I am a newbie, but wanna flex into stylization a bit more. I did this through Rebelle 5, which is absolutely amazing, IMO.

My dietary preferences/inclinations in a nutshell, as the title implies!

Shark time again. :-)

Title: Never Forget. A quick piece I made today. I wanted to go abstract so the viewer can put their own meaning into the piece, but each paint stroke I made I had September 11th in mind. Digitally painted with watercolor in Rebelle 5 on a simple white canvas and sent over to PS.

Moon and whale combo time!

My first try of lino cut

Another day? Another drawing, of course. :-)

A value study sample for students. Grey out the paper. Erase light areas. Darken shaded areas. Refine. Lots of success on this one.

Had to find a way to distract myself from current affairs right now... not going to lie.

Tidbits of things overheard in the pub earlier this week when I was short of inspiration = this.

Yesterday’s Magnetic Fields gig and current affairs fuelled the flames for this one, as did pink dolphins.
