City Quartet

By in watercolour

I don’t know what to say about this one. Maybe just back away, slowly. Actually, I like pictures full of silly characters. This one measures 10″x13″, if anyone cares.

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.

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.

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. […]

I’ve been memed, and lived to tell the tale.

By in sketches

This post is a tough one, but at least I get to post Lucy: I don’t really like these gimmicks, but the person who did it to me has been extra cool, lately, so I couldn’t disappoint. Internet Tag – as follows: One: Link to the person who tagged you. Here. Two: Post the rules. […]

Car Group

By in sketches, watercolour

These are just some people who existed in pencil in the sketchbook. I corrected them a little, and then added watercolours. The paper is thin, so it crinkled, but there you go. The little cat is angry when I’m painting, and not paying attention to her, so unfortunately she has to be shut out while […]

Try and Try Again

By in sketches, watercolour

I’m not too happy with this pic, and I’m not going to tell you who I was trying to draw, because it doesn’t look like him. So, it becomes Generic Man with Helicopter. The ‘copter was inspired by some previous drawings you can find on the old blog site. But doing it has taken me […]

More Horses

By in montreal, sketches, watercolour

A carriage, this time. I think it was done on the same day as yesterday’s.

Circus Horses

By in montreal, sketches, watercolour

Not much time for sketching today. So, I threw on something pretty from an old book I don’t think has been posted here before. It’s exercises outside of the circus tent, one summer in the Old Port in Montreal.

Quick Chicks

By in sketches, watercolour

Nothing much, a couple of quick drawings of women. The regular site still is down, but I haven’t learned how to do much with this one. Will fool with it. I suppose I can’t break it too badly.
