And today is the start of Art Every Day Month.   I was doing this long before Inktober.  Inktober is a cool idea, however, you are restricted to ink.    No markers, watercolor, etc.  The nice thing about Art Every Day Month (AEDM) is I am free to choose whatever media strikes my fancy.  IContinue reading “Today is November 1st “

It’s finally here!  Halloween!  And that means Inktober is over!!!!! Today’s prompt is “friend.”  So I came up with these two love birds.  However, the quote more reflects how glad I am that Inktober is over….. One exciting thing.  For several months now, I have wanted a sketch easel.  Something I could use to holdContinue reading “Inktober Day 31 Happy Halloween”

I did this last year on the road to Florida…..then I forgot about it until my friend “across the pond,” Helen Leigh-Phippard started posting her sketches.  We are in the car a lot and I thought it would be a great way to pass the time in the car.  Of course, on Long Island, everyoneContinue reading “Inktober Day 30 – Car Butts”

There is a cemetery near my house that has been around since the 1800’s.  I am always surprised how the headstones are in such great shape.  It’s bordered by the Patchogue lake so it’s a nice wild life spot as well.   I had two goals, an Inktober sketch and a small painting in myContinue reading “Inktober Day 29”

“Inktober Exhaustion”. My take on today’s prompt, “tired.” Inktober Day 25.  #sketchbookskool #artforall #sktchy #visualjournal #sketchbook #sketch #ginalento#illustratedjournaling #artistoninstagram #Dailyart #sktchyapp #art #artist #artists #draw #drawing #Drawings #artnews #doodlersanonymous #artistsoninstagram #KuretakeInkTober2016 @kuretakezig_usa @inktober #inktober #inktober2016 #manuscriptinktober2016 #ink #inking #drawingchallenge

Today’s prompt was “One Dozen.”   In the spirit of Halloween, I did a spooky house with ghosts.  13 to be exact,  a Baker’s dozen. I scanned it in for future reference and I will most likely finish it up with watercolor, but for today, it is Inktober #24. To protect my work from onContinue reading “Inktober Day 24”
