Watercolour Things

By in cats, sketches, watercolour

A little at sixes and sevens this weekend, and drawing helps me relax. I’m not going to identify the pair up above, because fans of celebrities on the internet are sometimes crazy, and will go to silly lengths being rude trying to preserve their imaginary relationships with their idols. I might tell you more stories […]

Monkeys, etc.

By in sketches, watercolour

Doing a lot of monkeys, but not all like this.

Gagnon and Marr Minus One

By in sketches

If last week’s drawing and drinking session at the Cock N’ Bull carried on without me, this one started and finished without any of my input at all. I was sick, and had to beg off and stay home. Never mind, Richard Gagnon and Marr drew up a storm without me. Judging from these pictures […]

Untitled

By in sketches, watercolour

I like the kinda rough, dashed-off quality of these. And also the texture of the paper in the scan. It looks like old skin.

Gator

By in sketches

This cat looks unhappy, even though he’s showing off the most wonderful ‘gator. Hope he’s not trapped in there, but the animal seems placid enough.

Odds and Ends

By in sketches, watercolour

I don’t know. Maybe tomorrow I’ll bother using some perspective. At least I might be in a better mood about things. In the meantime, there’s this snap of a drawing by Marr and Rick Gagnon from last week, which I forgot. Lovely fingernails, by the way.

People and Planes

By in sketches, watercolour

Stuff I enjoy painting. This is supposed to be a DeHavilland DH98 Mosquito, the best plane ever! These used to fly out of Calgary, my old home town.

TV People

By in sketches, watercolour

Just a couple of TV people. What more to say? Talking about drawing sometimes spoils it.

P-51 Mustang

By in sketches, watercolour

Cadillac of the skies! I’ve got to post more of my stuff here, because people are commenting on the other things as if I did them. Well, the masthead did say “…and friends.”

They Carried on Without me!

By in cats, sketches

I was pretty tired last night, so I retired early from the bar. My friends stuck around, but were soon chased away by the band setting up. They, however, went down the hill to R. Gagnon’s place, and kept drawing. Rick sent me evidence via e-mail of what happened. This looks like Rick a bit, […]

More Friday Fun and Frolic

By in sketches

Above is the brilliant job Rick Gagnon did colouring Marr’s (Michael Arsenault’s) drawing from last week during our usual Friday night meeting at the Cock N’ Bull bar. But this wasn’t quite so usual, because instead of “Gagnon Friday,” this one could be called Gagnon, Marr, Simmons, Leblanc (and Ruttan) Friday. Below, Marr and Gagnon […]

Eccentric Farm Scene

By in horses, sketches, watercolour

A woman in an evening dress really has nothing to do with a guy leading a horse around, but that’s what you get when you start drawing on a big sheet of watercolour paper. At least this stuff is a little more resistant to “cockling” than my usual sketchbook paper, even though it’s not stretched. […]

Don’t Call Me Shirley!

By in sketches

Drew this while half-watching a film from my massive collection of about 20 dvds. It’s the kid from Airplane! Later.
