By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, children, color, digital, Gouache, heads, Jack's House of Cats, pen and ink, Portraits, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, womenI’m lying just a bit.

By Jack Ruttan in Art Criticism, color, Gouache, montreal, paintings, ruttan's place, sketches, watercolor, watercolourThe top one is my painting of the view from my front window. It was actually started some time ago, and I merely finished it today. But I took a snapshot of what the actual view looks like today, and you can see what matches up, and which bits I got wrong…. It’s all thanks […]

Thinking of Miyazaki….
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, color, digital, heads, men, paintings, sketches, watercolor, watercolourI was watching the Miyazaki movie THE BOY AND THE HERON recently, and it inspired me to draw this guy.

Coreopsis, and Roses and Wildflowers
By Jack Ruttan in brush pen, collaboration, color, digital, heads, machines, men, paintings, self-promotion, watercolor, watercolour, women, writingSo much scary stuff in the world today!

A Very Good Day
By Jack Ruttan in color, paintings, self-promotion, sketches, watercolor, watercolourToday was a cool day, for some reasons I won’t go into here…..

Probably not as quality as Winsor & Newton, or even some of the other brands at Omer Des Serres, but what does […]
