Some forgotten sketches
Forgive me! I was foiled yet again by a three day weekend and forgot to post yesterday! Here is what ought to've been posted; I thought I had scheduled it.
Watercolor explorations, aliens, &c.
Here are some little watercolor sketches. I worked with a different type of pen than usual to avoid the ink bleed (Microns .03 and .05), and a couple of different types of paper— printmaking papers, leftover. Two of the loose sheets were far too absorptive for working well with watercolor (no lifting, no way to work into… Continue reading Watercolor explorations, aliens, &c.
Receipts as a substrate for drawing
I was thinking— I must always bring my sketchbook, else I wind up in a situation with only receipts from my wallet as drawing surfaces.

I don't know the rest of it, as I got lost in the rendering of two little houses, the situation of whose windows is pure whimsy. The houses list ever… Continue reading Watercolor on buckling pages

Obervations from the sketchbook
Colors on whimsy: art archive
Some scans from an old sketchbook— whimsy with art markers. (Always with the forks) This one is a drawing of a table i inherited from my grandparents' house. I stripped the top surfaces and painted a black and white harlequin pattern which nicely offset the brown veneer and brass-tipped legs. I had to leave it… Continue reading Colors on whimsy: art archive
