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”

Inktober Days 24 through 31
Here is the final week of Inktober 2017 For me, Inktober 2017 was not about being “popular” or creating works of art. I believe that creating art, even in sketchbooks, is about finding myself, my voice, my style, and not following the herd. I didn’t care if I got a lot of “likes” when IContinue reading “Inktober Days 24 through 31”
Recent sketches out and about
This past Wednesday I went out with my sketch club to sketch at the local bowling alley. Yesterday, I went into the city to sketch with the NYC Urban Sketchers. We were sketching several alleged haunted houses. The first one is a Colonial style home that was once a speakeasy. It is the home ofContinue reading “Recent sketches out and about”
Inktober Days 13 to 23
I have been busy working on a few things so I haven’t been posting much. However, I have been doing my daily Inktober sketches and posted them on Sktchy….most of them are 5 minute timed sketches done first thing in the morning. Enjoy! This pie is actually day 20.
Inktober sketches Days 6 – 12
I haven’t been posting these daily because I’d rather post them as a group. Most of these Inktober sketches are 5 minute sketches except for the Breakfast Crawl sketch that I snapped a photo of before I added watercolor to it. I start my sketches by checking the Inktober prompt for the day thatContinue reading “Inktober sketches Days 6 – 12”
Some recent sketches
I have been working on a project that I don’t wish to post just yet. In the meantime, here are some sketches I did recently. This one was an experiment that didn’t come out as intended, but I am content with the result. This next sketch is a haiku sketch where you only have 7Continue reading “Some recent sketches”
Irma
Well Paint the Great South Bay is a wrap. It went very well and I even made it on the cover of our local newspaper. We sold paintings, we got tacos and ice cream for sketches, whose better than us? Now I am on my way to Chincoteague to participate in their plein airContinue reading “Irma”
Eclipse day sketch
Sketched this in Princeton today. I didn’t expect a crowd today but people seemed to be congregating from all over to watch the eclipse. I thought the kids were back to school until I found out that Princeton doesn’t start until September. Some very nice people let me view the eclipse through their glasses. ItContinue reading “Eclipse day sketch”
Alive After Five #4 2017
This evening was the last Alive After Five for the season….there was no model this evening so I was finally able to sketch this purple truck…..I meant to add more people to the sketch but it got dark pretty quickly….it isn’t a food truck, it’s clothes on wheels….
Rainy Day Sketch
The weather here has been cool for August and today was a tad chilly but it was also rainy and damp. Not much of a day for sitting outside to sketch so I worked on some things in my studio. This evening, John and I went out to have coffee and I sketched at theContinue reading “Rainy Day Sketch”
