Today’s sketches

I am a member of a Pattern Club called Pattern & Process. It used to be Photoshop Club but it has evolved. We had a Zoom session today and we sketched some reference photos. It was interesting to see how people used the photos. These are mine:

Today’s Sketch

Frog Hollow with all of this rain! Quick 4×6 sketch using Viviva Colors…more or less experimenting with the concept of color cards instead of paint and or tubes. It was a stormy day today and the neighborhood frogs loved it.

Inktober 2024 Day 3

I kinda messed this one up a little and I can’t tweak it until it’s dry. It’s getting late and I have to go to bed so this one is in the rough draft state for today. Today’s prompt is “boots.”

Inktober Day 2

The prompt for today is “discover.” Lucy and Mack have “discovered” live Halloween decorations. Carved pumpkins seem to attract all sorts of creatures. When we lived up North. the local squirrels would eat the Jack O’Lantern every year. They would also eat the uncarved pumpkins, too. Here in Florida, we found out the hard wayContinue reading “Inktober Day 2”

Inktober 2024 Day 1

So much to do and so little time. I debated on whether or not I wanted to do Inktober this year. I also debated what I wanted to draw. Did I want to follow the suggested prompts, do my own thing or follow other lists. Or just pick and choose daily from various lists. DidContinue reading “Inktober 2024 Day 1”

Summer Painting #9

Short and sweet for this post… Here is my next summer painting…a palm tree island with an egret. Enjoy!

Summer Painting #8

It has already been a warm summer so far, so I thought that I would do a painting of a “cool” item from the suggested list. “Popsicle” is one of the suggestions on the list, though I am not sure why “ice cream cone” isn’t, but just as well, they are both a ton ofContinue reading “Summer Painting #8”

Summer Painting #7

Here is painting #7. One of my favorite flowers to grow and I am surprised I don’t have any here in my garden. I used to plant seeds every year when I lived in NJ and I would watch the goldfinches hang upside down to pull the yummy seeds out. I found one of thoseContinue reading “Summer Painting #7”

Summer Painting #6

One of the prompts for the daily painters challenge is “fish.” We have a mahi-mahi metal wall hanging that I have no idea where we inherited it from, but it has been in my father-in-law’s house in Port St Lucie, migrated to our Jensen Beach house where it sat in storage and then it movedContinue reading “Summer Painting #6”

Summer Painting #5

This is the last daily painting for this week. This is a small 4×4 painting of fireflies doing their summer evening dance in the dark. It was a little tricky because the fireflies in the painting are so small on the 4×4 surface. I almost did a 6×6 and I still may do a largerContinue reading “Summer Painting #5”
