Inchies Day 10

This is Day 10 of the Inchie Challenge with two days to go. Today’s prompt is “eclipse.” When I first saw the prompt. I thought of a bunch of little partially covered moons, but I also thought of a “man in the moon” concept and the “man” bemused that his light was being blocked byContinue reading “Inchies Day 10”

Inchie Day 8

Today’s prompt is “moth.” I used my pre prepped cards for the background. The mixtures of blues and greens that worked for the ocean inchies also work for an evening sky.

Horse on a bike sketch

I am taking Mike Lowery’s workshop “Getting Paid to Draw” and on our Zoom call, we were given the task to draw a horse on bike while he did his lesson. This is my horse on a wobbly bike. This is untouched except that I removed my notes around it. I might take this oneContinue reading “Horse on a bike sketch”
