Mic check
Another Zoom portrait, this one using some different colors as an experiment from my usual monochrome approach in the past. I used a pencil, a Uniball Vision pen, Derwent Inktense Watercolors, and Derwent Waterbrushes for this painting.

Blue bell wood
This one “looks like The Gruffalo” says my wife. I don’t disagree. 😃 This scene is part of the field where we take our dog Rubee for walks. The woods here are now finally full and the floor is covered with bluebell flowers (I think that is what they are called anyway). It’s quite cool…

Vivi’s Nikes 2021
I haven’t drawn the kids’ shoes before but was recently inspired by another artist to do it. Here is my daughter’s current most-worn pair of sneakers. I used Derwent Inktense watercolors, pencil, and a Uniball Eye pen for this one.

Morning colors
I love my mornings and often the morning (and late evening) is the best weather-wise here in Scotland. Here is a little watercolor I did that was inspired by the morning sky. I used pencil, Derwent Inktense watercolors, and a Uniball Eye pen on this painting. Here is a photo I snapped on the walk…

Hand and thumb
Another Zoom portrait using racing green instead of the typical sepia. I like the way the green turned out and picked this snapshot as I thought the inclusion of the hand was interesting.

Back garden under construction
This is a view of our back garden as of a few weeks ago. Those trees you see are now in the ground, but things are still very much under construction. I hadn’t yet drawn the church by our house, so I liked the challenge of that as well as all the layers in this…

Main St in blue
My idea with this was to play around with really dark foregrounds and light backgrounds. I thought I would use sepia for the foreground but ended up picking navy blue at the last minute. Although the streets were dry at the time I took the picture that inspired this painting, the blue gives the streets…

Keep smiling
Keeping the Zoom portraits going with another one using a deep red instead of the usual sepia. Done using Derwent Inktense watercolors and water pens, along with a Uninball Eye Micro pen for the outlines. Smiles go a long way. Keep smiling all. 😃

Twisting branches
I’ve been noticing the branches of the trees here in Scotland all winter, how they are angular and curved at the same time, and have been wanting to draw and paint them in more detail for awhile. I actually started this with the intention of doing many of the branches but quickly became overwhelmed with…

Cap on (figure #73)
Continuing with the Zoom portraits. This is one of someone looking at another screen and I liked the angle, and the hat, as a nice change of pace from the standard front view. Still using the larger A4 size of paper for these and it’s fantastic. This was done using Derwent water pens, Inktense Navy…
