Part 3 of my China sketchbook from last summer.

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

I wonder what kind of music he likes? Inktober drawing.

Inktober Day 7: "Enchanted." Pen & Ink & Watercolor.

I drew these guys with a Pilot Custom 823 FA and Platinum Carbon Black ink. The FA nib has a good drawing width on watercolor paper - one of my favorites. It's a soft nib but I don't use the line variation, just some nice shock absorption with each downstroke. The Carbon Black ink is out-of-this-world good, though being pigmented I fear keeping it in too many pens.

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

This was drawn with a Japanese fountain pen, Japanese ink, and painted with Japanese watercolor. To be specific - I used Holbein watercolor and Platinum Carbon Black in a Pilot Falcon. This trio is perfect for me.

Watercolor practice

I've been traveling all summer and had not been able to make any art. Here is my first painting in a while. A little bit of art therapy.

My favorite season is the fall.

A beautiful day for a walk in the park and to paint a tree.

Strange creatures of their respective planets meet on a new fruitful planet to create a peaceful community.

"Robot Manflower." 8x8 ink and watercolor. New discovery: Noodlers 54th Massachusetts Ink (watered down) works incredibly well for painting shadows/value before the watercolor. Watercolor does not disturb that ink! Drawn with a Pilot Custom 743 EF with De Atramentis Document Ink Black.

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.)

Flying Robot in the Sky, watercolor. I used my new Holbein paints. (I love them.) Drawn with a Pilot Falcon SEF using Platinum Carbon Black. A trifecta of Japanese paint, pen, and ink.

Every spring I visit this magnificent pin oak when taking my class out to draw.
