I joined this challenge to brush up on my gouache skills. Not that I really need it but when I play with a material for a while, creative things happen.

Friendly Face Day 14
Prompt #14 – Fade. I had to get a little creative with this one. I thought of an old polaroid photo and this is what I came up with…

And if your driving through interior Florida, the cattle egrets are cattle back riding on the many cows that are grazing on theContinue reading “Egrets”

Manifestos
Each month, Sketchbook Skool does a quick You Tube Live so people can get together and do a “goals” page in their sketchbooks or journals.
