Shore Cliff Fantasy Drawing, Sketched With Sharpie Pen.

I did this drawing while waiting for the car to be repaired. I didn't have any resource materials like a picture in a magazine or any old photographs so I started with a vague idea and then went from there. It began with the idea of a stair leading down to the beach. I drew it first in pencil and made a few corrections then started with the sharpie. There are some places where I was experimenting with the sharpie by holding it at a low angle so less of the felt contacted the paper which gave a thinner line, which I used in the distant sea and the clouds.

I am mostly happy with it but in retrospect I wonder if using dots on the beach was as effective as it could have been if I had just left it white or used some kind of hashing approach.

Quick Sketch While At The Restaurant.

I try to always have a small sketchbook with me so I can doodle or sketch when the opportunity arises. It is easy to carry a small one in pocket with a pencil or pen. This sketch book is about 3 inches by 5 inches. I used a sharpie.

It is a sketch of a garden planter in the corner of a plaza where we were having lunch. I started with a light pencil and then went over it with a sharpie. The foreground was boring poured concrete but I thought it would be more interesting with flagstones.

Watercolor Sketch of An Old Barn

Not far away from my home is an old farm that has been turned into a park called Brayburn park. Behind the farmhouse is another structure a kind of log cabin that appears to date back to colonial times, it as proubly built as a storehouse or barn. It has a stone base and rough timber sides. I did a watercolor sketch of it one afternoon.

Rene's Farm at Sunset Watercolor Over Fine Tipped Marker

This is a picture I did that was inspired by Rene's farm in Texas. I like the rural scene it is peaceful.

I sketched it with a hb pencil, then went over the sketch with a fine tipped marker, and finished with watercolor. The marker was a Sharpie(R) and I like to use them because they seem reliable and convenient. I have a few that are mostly used up and the line is very thin and pale so I use those with a fresh one that has a strong thicker line.

I have to remember to keep the water color thin and let the pen work show through.The only think I am not happy is that the sharpie do not seem to not be totally water proof because there is a little faint bleed when you put the water on, but it is minimal and a clear wash followed by a tissue blot up will deal with it nicely.

A Fine Tipped Marker Drawing, Before the Concert. by Adron

While waiting for the performance of some cool jazz I used my little sketch book and some fine tipped markers and drew this little sketch. The musical instruments, chair, and stands made a beautiful composition as they were arranged on the stage. I couldn't have asked for a better scene.

I always try to carry a small sketch book and some supplies since there is art everywhere so I always find something to draw. This sketchbook is about 4x6. The markers were some cheap things from a big box chain store. It all fits in a pocket and I can keep it hidden until I am ready to use them

I was struggling to hold my sketchbook above the seat in front of me with one hand while sketching with the other. I am happy with the results.

Watercolor Painting of Orchid

I bought this orchid plant for a model to use in a class.  After the class I put in my room and decided to make it a subject of some art so I get my monies worth out of it. I could always use the practice.

This is watercolor. It is a very simple picture. I am not happy with the photography it is more brilliant in real life and the blues are less teal in the actual picture.

Candlestick and Candle, A Quick Sketch in Pencil

Sorry it is so pale but pencil is not something I have been able to photograph very well.

A pencil Drawing of Two Candle Holders. 

It was a project in a class where I was trying to show a few kids how to draw. It was drawn in a few minutes and then I did a lot of blending and rubbing with the stub.

Pencil Sketch of Wilted Autimn Leaf

This picture started in a class I was teaching to help some kids learn to draw. It was my quick example.

Pencil Sketch of Wilted Leaf

I did this entirely in pencil using hb and a 4b. After I outlined it I began the details of the veins with light lines. I began to shade the leaf lightly. After getting the leaf the value I wanted I worked a little to shadow the background. I went back over the surface of the leaf and added details and spots. It is not the normal step but after detailing the leaf I gave it a rub over with a blending stub to soften the overall appearance. Last I used a kneaded erasure to lift out a few highlights.
