Butterscotch Candies of Death

Watercolour Faces
By Jack Ruttan in color, Gouache, heads, Jack's House of Cats, men, montreal, paintings, Portraits, self-promotion, sketches, watercolourI’m just putting this up to see how big the graphic is…. Not too impressive, eh? It’s relaxing sitting on the front balcony doodling faces and the passing scene outside. People go by, things go by, as James Agee put it… Watercolour takes a lot of work to get back to one’s level. Haven’t sold […]

April Blog
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, color, Coloured Pencils, heads, montreal, paintings, pencil, ruttan's place, sketches, watercolor, watercolourHere we are, in my old-fashioned editor, putting up pictures from my sketchbook into my old-fashioned blog. I used to know how to write CSS, and make pretty styles for text and paragraphs. Not to mention the tags for these illustrations. Haven’t done much of that for a long while! I listened to a […]

Yelling People!
By Jack Ruttan in color, Coloured Pencils, heads, pencil, Portraits, sketches, watercolor, watercolour, womenI have to update my blog, template and all, to add new, modern things. I hope not a ton of pop-ups, etcetera. Still, this is a recent sketchbook page I actually worked on today! I’m setting up a Patreon link, and also have a cool illustration thing I’m going to share soon! Please stay tuned!

Newish Pages
By Jack Ruttan in ballpoint pen, black and white, brush pen, color, horses, men, pencil, sketchesNewish sketchbook pages. You know, I used to put up a drawing every day, and felt unhappy if I didn’t. But these days, while I’m still drawing a lot, I’m not blogging as much. Social Media is strange. I loved Twitter, but they seem to be doing as much as they can to ruin it. […]

Watercolour Therapy
By Jack Ruttan in color, sketches, watercolor, watercolourGot a ton of thick, good quality watercolour paper lately. So, I’m just trying to paint, without worrying about ruining good paper. Not all of these are masterpieces, or will go on walls. But they feel good to do. Watching the paint dry, as Jill Thompson put it. I wonder what she’s doing, these days? […]

Eastern
By Jack Ruttan in color, Gouache, heads, paintings, sketches, watercolor, watercolourI really hope that the little art shop in Chinatown near Clarke Street has survived. I like independent shops more than the big chains. Found cool stuff there, such as this book, and that brush. This is actually a face I did years ago, in black gouache, and just added colour to, today.
