• Get Out Of Your Rut

  Posted on Saturday May 30th, 2009 at 09:00 in Color, flowers, watercolor, ink, watercolour, banderas, micron, wet-on-wet, color brush pens

  Sometimes, we artists get into a rut. Don't know what to draw or paint so we do nothing. We just need to adapt! A trick I have learned from Cathy (Kate) Johnson www.flickr.com/photos/cathy-johnson/ from one of her fine watercolor instruction books, ...

• Giant Mushrooms

  Posted on Saturday April 18th, 2009 at 07:10 in mushrooms, earth, ink, giants, dinosaurs, nexus, micron

  Nexus and Micron pens helped me draw this scene of overly huge mushrooms. I decided not to add watercolors to this and just go black and white. I am thinking that when the huge dinosaurs roamed the earth many years ago that perhaps everything else ma...

• Feo And Funky

  Posted on Friday March 6th, 2009 at 19:35 in watercolor, fish, ink, ocean, watercolour, nexus, micron

  Extremely ugly (Feo in Spanish) and very funky (Whacky in English) explains this fishes dilemma. This multi-colored sole was done while I was idly doodling. I might add, this fish looks very sad also. The intricate details on the fish make him uniqu...

• Half Dome At Yosemite

  The image is done primarily using a black Tombow pen, which is water soluble, and helps provide a variety of tones and values. I used very minimal Micron pen strokes to complete the painting.The real disciplines in doing this artwork were to effectiv...

• Idle Time To Sketch

  Posted on Saturday February 7th, 2009 at 09:00 in drawing, watercolor, ink, sketch, Technique, watercolour, chandelier, micron, pilot precise pens

  While sitting at the doctor's office waiting for my wife, I began drawing from a magazine. I suspected I had only a small bit of time, I drew a section of a chandelier photo from an advertisement. Barely got the lines done and my wife was out and re...

• Lonely Little Tree

  Posted on Wednesday January 14th, 2009 at 10:45 in drawing, illustration, visual arts, tree, bare, inks, micron

  While I waited for my wife one day last December, I drew this lonely little tree in the church parking lot. It was a cold and dreary day and this little tree looked so alone and so bare. I continued sketching until my wife arrived. Took the drawing h...

• Burger, Anyone?

  Posted on Friday July 18th, 2008 at 10:00 in ink, color pencil, hamburger, micron, color brush pens

  I began drawing this hamburger as I was sitting at an all day art exhibit. Unfortunately, I had not eaten much that morning so the longer I drew the hungrier I got. My lunch break came and nowhere could I find a hamburger joint so I had tacos. Actual...

  Sketch of a very neat apartment building near Japantown in San Francisco. These are lots of fun to draw because there is so much to draw. This building was very well kept and newly painted. I used Micron pens with Faber Castell "Shades of Grey" brush...

• Train Connection

  Posted on Wednesday September 26th, 2007 at 10:30 in ink, railroad, faber castell, micron

  Eventhough I am trying to loosen up on most of my art it's nice to tighten up once in a while just to make sure I can still do it. This drawing is looking down from the top of a railroad car. Now I know the subject matter is not that interesting but...
