Cats and Dogs
By Jack Ruttan in cats, dogs, sketches, watercolourI’ve scanned a lot of pictures I’ve been painting the last while, and am going to put them up on the blog step by step, maybe. That’s so I can post stuff every day! Or, I might put them up all at once. Who knows?

Today’s Page
By Jack Ruttan in cats, paintings, sketches, watercolour, womenIt’s awkward scanning things out of a ring-bound sketchbook. Pages are all “cockled” when it’s watercolour, and you can never get it to line up on the scanner. I also had to scan this page twice and “stitch” together, which also was a pain. Not to mention fixing that tree, which had a lot of […]

Cell Phone Woman
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenEveryone I see downtown these days is texting, or talking on a phone. Don’t know what to make of this, but it’s not me. Though I am addicted to twitter, and my little sub-notebook computer.

New Pug Dog
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, paintings, sketches, watercolourReading, and inspired by the comic Beasts of Burden, by Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson. Working on some animal stories, I promise! Okay, you’ve heard that before. Drawing pug dogs is fun. Not sure about the dogs themselves. One once got loose in this apartment when I left the door open. Discombobulated the cats. I […]

Leaping Car
By Jack Ruttan in paintings, sketches, watercolourThis is fun. Call it part of my Blue Period. Easy to add little colours here and there, and underneath. Unlike many people I know, I like painting and drawing machines, though don’t have a fondness for the ruler. I fancy this gives them more personality. I like objects with personality, and strive to put […]

Aviator
By Jack Ruttan in men, paintings, watercolourBeen slacking off on the sketch-blogging, I’m afraid. Will have to get back into it. i.e. don’t give a darn about what I post!

F1 Confusion
By Jack Ruttan in horses, montreal, paintings, sketches, watercolourYesterday, I went to check out the Formula 1 Festivities downtown in Montreal. Snapped a few photos, as above. Kind of tiring, the whole thing, so I took a pit stop in Dorchester Square, ate French Fries, and sketched the equestrian monument to the wildly popular Boer War.

Yellow and Sepia
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenI am so wiped out today. Combination of humid heat and allergies. But I’ve been painting lots of things. Not all of it really good, because for some reason I’m painting over old pencil drawings in the sketchbook. But I like how the darks and lights are going. Will do some pretty ones, I promise.

Pushing Ahead
By Jack Ruttan in cats, dogs, men, sketches, watercolour, womenAfter not posting much, for a while, I’ve been doing a flurry of painting. Seems I need to go through a number of indifferent things to “ramp up” to something better. Anyhow, I’m happier with what’s going on here. Painting lots of cats for this cat strip I’m trying to finish. Wish it felt easier, […]

Another Day
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenSketches of women and other things. A couple of other posts I’ve been sitting on, because they’re more complicated. Will try to get them up, soon!
