The inspiration for my sketch is a photo by Tania Dimas from Pixabay

This drawing is inspired by a photo by Klary Tineo from Pixabay. It’s done using Staedtler’s Aquarelle pencils, and I applied the water brush after.

Again, from my sketchbook, this time using Staedtler’s Mars Lumograph Aquarelle pencils. This was so much fun to draw! It is based on an image by 👀 Mabel Amber, who will one day from Pixabay.

This sketch of a rose is based on an image by InspiredImages from Pixabay.

Just practice, a sketch in graphite, from my sketchbook.

I painted one of the sunflowers in my vase — but skipped the vase. And decided to outline it with one of my Arteza Brush Pens. This was done on 6×8 300-lb. watercolor paper.

I didn’t have time to paint today, but I did complete two figures in pencil. The sketch of a torso and legs is from a new drawing book I just bought: How to Draw People by Erik Barrett.


The painting below — on 6×8 300-lb. watercolor paper — is based on a photo by Shannon Baldwin on Unsplash; my painted rose leans red as opposed to a peachy coral.

As I mentioned in this post, I’m taking the online course by Peggi Kroll-Roberts, and the assignment is to do 2-value and then 3-value studies painting the figure. In this effort, I am using the figure I sketched out in charcoal here, as prep for a future painting.
I drew out the figure first, using a 6×8 piece of 300-lb watercolor paper. For comparison’s sake, I’ve included the charcoal figure.
