This guy is vaguely based on John Cusack from the movie “Say Anything,” but I was too lazy to draw a portrait. So he becomes “random guy,” because it’s too cold to go out on the balcony and draw people.

Hard and Soft Edges
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenI dislike ink outlines, but am working on hard and soft edges in drawings. Leaving the middles alone in this case, or giving them a gentle wash.

Fast and Slow Watercolours
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenOne of these was painted very quickly, the other very slowly. Which is which? Do you care?

A Utopian Moment
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenSomebody asked me where the name “Utopia Moment” came from. It’s something I made up, when I was in a Brian Eno type of mood (he likes to give enigmatic titles to his pieces). I think it refers to the instant when everything feels perfect; but it’s so fleeting it’s hard to grab onto and […]

Science Fiction Experiment
By Jack Ruttan in men, paintings, watercolour, womenGot carried away painting something in one of my books. The more complex you make it, it seems the more the flaws show up. Oh well, I enjoyed doing it. Trying to manage my lights and darks, my perspective, also my colour palette. The interesting thing about doing these is that they never quite get […]

New Stuff…
By Jack Ruttan in cats, men, sketches, watercolour, women.. but somehow the same. Sigh. If anyone cares, that strange object in the upper right-hand corner is a doodle of an Italian drinking fountain I made to illustrate an anecdote to someone. Coloured it in.

Slightly Random
By Jack Ruttan in men, sketches, watercolour, womenBusy as of late. I’ve been drawing things in the between times, but not really putting them up. Maybe it will even out, but I wonder. Anyhow, here are some more drawings and paintings. Some are sort of from life, some not. I’ll let you guess. The guy below, in pencil, is roughly inspired by […]

Sketchbook Fun
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenMore people from my head, and on the street. Along with buying a lot of new sketchbooks at “Back to School” sales at various art stores, I’ve been wrapping up some ones that have been filled up. The problem for me comes when I have to find space to store them in my little apartment. […]

Canson “Mix Media” (sic) Sketchbook
By Jack Ruttan in cats, watercolour, womenThis kitty was painted in my book, the make of which is in the title, and about which I was complaining to another artist about because it likes to absorb and lighten dark watercolour paint. I’m too cheap to buy a better book, and frankly, haven’t found one at a reasonable price. It’s not so […]
