Sketch Practice using a digital pen stylus and any free sketch app

I have been practicing controlling a pen stylus in a sketch app for a couple of days a week.  From my research, I have found that cheap ones (stylus) are very hard to control.  I got a very good one for a gift and I could really see a difference in my control of lines and very basic shapes.  It is fun to work on your iPad or android tablets or smartphones in stolen moments at appointments, treatments, or in bed at night with a good stylus.  These sketches will be fun to paint later.  Enjoy this micro journey!

Mountain Landscapes-- practice

I have been working on mountain Landscrapes since seeing a Bob Ross video early one Saturday morning.  I have worked in mixed media..paint markers, watercolor, acrylic ...starting to see progress...this was done in an altered journal.  Bob Ross worked in oils and used household natural brushes, but I think my effect is very similar.

Paint Rag Portraits warm up

Okay, for my warmup today, I looked over at my paint rags for clean up and literally saw clowns.  So, I decided to add paint to them.  Giving to make a art studio spirit doll with theses little gems.

Working on the small side

Hi all:

Some times I need to challenge my self to go beyond the norm or easy.  So, I have been doing daily challenges of working small ..today I am starting on a 3x 3 canvas with markers, paint, ranger stain . This project is Not complete..I just getting started, but it is fun.  I used a selection of store bought stencils I also cut a few of my own shapes using the brother scan and cut and my Cricut.   Stencils are a fun ways to add quick backgrounds or elements to any surface.  How can you use stencils?   Try some of your favorites?

Call on me!

Had a day that required me call for strength!  Of course,  I had "art it out" with mixed media paint, markers, gel pens
