Doodling - Funkiness Exudes

I doodled the center floral stem first and then the rest just morphed into a design... and it just looked funky... and since I was outside playing with double loading gouache on a Simply Simons #6 Chisel brush I used that for the title...

Size: 3"h" x 8"w
On Canson Mixed Media paper using various colors of Juice Up pens created the funky floral design.

Size: 5" x 6"
On Fabriao 1264 Mixed Media paper created the heart shape to write in my Blackletter style text using a Marvy 2.0 broad edge calligraphy marker. Drew in the red line heart with a Juice U pen and then wet the inner area for a heart and sprinkled with Bister red powder, touching here and there and adding more water etc. Sprinkled with Neuberg-Ebel Sparkle Bronze 52 powder.

Scribbled Lives 2023 - Wk 36 - Brush - Every Artist

Somethings wrong with my website - sigh. I can't seem to access it... I hope it's just a weather or simple glitch that will right itself soon...

Another week of Scribbled Lives this time the challenge is using a Brush... so I pulled out a couple of my Rosemary & Co triangle brushes. 

Size: 6"w x 7"h
On Fabriano 1264 Mixed Media paper.

Sprinkled yellow and red Bister powder over paper and using a med size Rosemary & Co triangle brush dipped into water created the flowers. Dried. Removed excess powder and sprinkled with yellow and green for the leaves.

Used calligraphy brush pens (2 med sizes) to stipple the flower centers  and write the text.

words: Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. Henry Ward Beecher

Believe on Grey

Believe on Grey... I was playing while listening to Mike Gold's Composition class this week... and I've been meaning to play on my grey paper... finally I did and I really love it.
