Pile o’ Faces
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourHere are a bunch of faces I drew last night, while watching a DVD. Not always so great trying to paint while watching something, esp. an interesting but relatively contemplative film such as Two Lane Blacktop, which demands more attention than an action flick, or similar. Generally, I wait until playing a flick again for […]

The blog rolls ever on and on…
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourPrecious few visitors, it seems, but the numbers were coming from points in the day, so you’d have to add them up to get a daily total. I’m not going to share that with you! Above, a painting loosely inspired by the terrific cop thriller Infernal Affairs, sort of the Hong Kong version of The […]

Sundays
By Jack Ruttan in horses, watercolourWow. Painting dark in watercolour is hard. Or, at least involves different skills than slashing away at a light picture. With light things, there’s always a chance of overworking something, and spoiling it. With these, there always seems to be something else you can do, which will make it a better, more interesting picture. I’m […]

Fridays
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourThis is Philarette, one of the loveable characters from the movie Malpertuis. He’s especially adept with rusty scalpels and other instruments of taxidermy. “This isn’t going to hurt… Well, maybe a little….”

Thursdays
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourThe guy in the watercolour above is looking kind of dumb, and standing awkwardly, doing nothing. But then again, so is the bear. Will something happen? I doubt it. Meanwhile, I painted another sketch of Orson Welles: I’ve been watching the DVD of Malpertuis, which is a brilliant, but little-known French or Flemish fantasy film […]

Wednesdays
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourJust a companion for yesterday’s man. Working on some other things, which might be ready, soon.

Tuesdays
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourMainly making little drawings, in this small book I found. Because they take less time. Really, I wanted to practice placing values, and, of course, making a nice picture. If I do something I really like, I can make it into a big picture, and I hope, get the values right so you can tell […]

Mondays
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourNothing too ambitious. I was out of the house for most of the weekend, and working on other things than making pictures. I’m going to have to learn how to scan watercolours in better quality. There’s a site which talks about that. But it recommends a lot of little steps, and I can hardly tell […]

Bert
By Jack Ruttan in sketchesBack to random sketches in my book, and cryptic words, which are merely notes I write to myself for some totally unrelated project. Looks fairly crazy, though, doesn’t it? Some other time I’ll write something rambling, but I have to walk up a hill in freezing weather and wind (but it is sunny out), to […]

Faces, and Loose Ends
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourA few faces I did last night. The ones up above start with a base of some colour or another. Then I go at it with that colour as a theme. The guy below was painted with a dry brush that was pretty saturated with paint, if that makes sense. Most of these are done […]

Random Watercolours
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourThe first one is from a photo in a movie mag. Defiance, if you care. The rest are out of my fevered head.

Post Jam
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourI started a couple of comic pages at last Night’s Montreal Comic Jam, but you can’t see them because they were packed away, and I didn’t take my handy little digital camera to take snaps of them, or of the jam participants, for that matter. So you’ll have to be content with this little doodle […]

Suit Guy
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolourA little light. I’d better go. It’s time for the Monthly Montreal Comic Jam!
