Was watching comedy last night on CBC TV. I’m afraid I feel a little like the squirrel in this drawing….

Lots of long speeches. I liked Chrystia Freeland’s face, so I drew that in my Dollarama sketchbook, with my amazing Winsor and Newton Series 150 Chinese brush.
I don’t know if it’s actually a Chinese brush, if it’s made in the U.K. But I won’t worry about that. I’ll work on those illustrations today….
Red Gothic Guy in Gouache
By Jack Ruttan in Gouache, heads, men, paintings, ruttan's place, sketches, watercolourI’m happy that this is posting, because I’m not too thrilled with my digital painting program at the moment. Maybe it’s calmed down now, and recognizes me. I also put my thumb drive in the pocket of my fuzzy sweater, because I wanted to print something at the library. But the library printer only prints text, not graphics. My home printer only works with Windows 7, and needs cleaning. It’s a Samsung CLP something-or-another, and likely they’ve stopped making ink for it.
I think I’ve ticked all the proper boxes at the side. Anyways, I’m doing more paintings, in watercolour with a little bit of digital. I hope it works!
