A watercolor from a reference sketch. This was the watercolor set I used. The Shmincke Academie was a holiday set from a year ago. I ordered it through Ebay but then realized the same set was also sold on Etsy by the same person (Etsy is my preferred place to buy internationally...I just maneuver the... Continue Reading →
I'm in the process of moving some large files over to another external drive to make room for those REF files from my camera, so while that's moving along in the background, I thought I'd share what I was painting the last couple of days. This was done using a reference digital painting by Larry... Continue Reading →
I've been reading and writing and just haven't been able to post a lot. I've also decided to return to college to finish my master's degree. I only have 7 classes left so I figured I might as well go for it. I've also begun to edit other writer's work because that's what I'd like... Continue Reading →

I'm liking it and find it fun and inspirational to practice my drawings using different techniques. I have a few items of Jane's but didn't purchase any facial stamps or... Continue Reading →
I used a gift card my sister got me for my birthday + points on Amazon and got some Copic markers. This was my first time trying out Copics so I'm excited to continue using them. The portrait was pencil sketched a couple of days ago while waiting for my daughters at the dance studio. ... Continue Reading →
Sometimes I like to sketch starting with the nose. This was one of them. Most the time I start with the eyes but for some reason I was itching to get the nose right first. Two birthday's ago my husband surprised me with a beautiful leather covered unlined journal. It was so beautiful that I... Continue Reading →
A friend got me this Artist's Loft art set for Christmas and I thought I'd play a little with the color pencils. Can't wait to try the other stuff!
