Day 1085 Last of arts in the heart
Oops there’s still one more arts in the Hearts sketch downstairs in my car in a sketchbook. Maybe it will get upstairs tomorrow after dr Sketchys. Continue reading
Day 1095 some wild animals
Or maybe it’s just the wandering dog my mind during the night. These things do pop up. Just a fun bit of early Friday morning scribbling in my Stillman and Birn Alpha.
The thinner 150gsm paper is less demanding because i don’t worry about messing them up like I do the heavier Stillman and Birns. I still have plenty more paper!
Think the background may change. It’s too close in color to the dawg and the deer. Bytw how about those UGA Dawgs. #1 Hurrah!!!
Hmm requires more work. Should have darkened the deer and the dog. Oops.

Day 1092 Couldn’t help myself. 🤗😱👻☠️
The news is just too juicy to not record some of it lest we forget.
Been working on this for about an hour. 
his face needed more color. He looked like a kid. Did I say he’s 68?!!
Done with Prismacolor paintstixs and a Lamy EF. Stillman and Birn Alpha.
Margaret xoxox who was trying to wean herself off the news but fell back in the puddle today
Day 1091. Oops almost forgot.
A few more things to do but not many. Work on the blue legs and Candices hand on the top right. Still fuzzy.
Guess I will have to use my own hand.
Margaret xoxoxo back to the news. So sad.
Day 1090 The End of Dr Sketchys
really this is it. I posted this one the other day but am posting it again because I did this and the next one in twenty minutes. I started over because I didn’t like the ink one. Thought the arm was too big. Looking at it now I think her head was too small.
This one actually got to the watercolor stage. And I had a lot of fun just dripping paint into the background for a different look. That was done with a drippy brush loaded with color that was allowed to drip like rain drops. It was not splattered.
Twenty minute sketch. These are all about 14×18 give or take.
And the last one. I made an interesting discovery. I painted the sheet black clothes first. Let it dry then I painted flesh color over it so they wouldn’t run together or grey out the flesh. Her first almost nude pose ever.
Paper is superaquabee. Pen is a Noodler clear ahab with Noodlers Eelskin ink. Palette is the winsor newton travel palette plus all the DS Quinacridones.
Sorry for the late post. Walked in the door and back out. All day long. Very busy day.
Hugs Margaret. Xoxoxox
