Butterscotch Candies of Death
By Jack Ruttan in brush pen, color, ruttan's place, sketches, watercolourI don’t know why these things are so cheap. Only a dollar a bag. They stop me from coughing on the train….

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 […]

Dinos
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolor, watercolourI’m actually glad the more recent reconstructions of Tyrannosaurus Rex aren’t as feathery as they were a few years back, when I drew these things. Mainly I’m posting this because I noticed I hadn’t posted anything this year yet, so I wanted to keep the blog more or less fresh. I am paying for the […]

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!

Random Sketchbook Page
By Jack Ruttan in heads, Portraits, sketches, watercolor, watercolourLike, from about 2018 or 19? I used to put these up when I did them. But got out of the habit, what with Facebook and all taking over from personal blogs…..

Bad Paper Squirrel
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourNow this critter was painted on incredibly lightweight paper (one of those make your own greeting card packs). She cockled up very badly, but I was able to flatten her. Reminds me of a story about a job I worked at, colouring cels for an animated TV show that never made it to air….

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? […]
