The book I am working on is 4.5 x 6. I also have a 6×9 I am working on as well. I paintContinue reading “Morning sketch and…”

And last but not least

The front cover is another doll from the attic. Her hat was in one container and she was in another. It’s a porcelain doll.

Back cover of Zombie doll book

Artist pens

Here is a post for members of my sketch club who wanted more info about artist pens.  (I am not covering fountain pens because they are a totally different critter and require their own post.). If I post something without visuals, no one will read the post, so enjoy the sketches. 😂 First rule of thumb,Continue reading “Artist pens”
