Birthday Cooking 2020

Inky Thots: Robert Oster Sydney Lavender
I love sketching with moody inks, touching them with a waterbrush to move the inky colors in interesting directions. Robert Oster Sydney Lavender came to me during my new love of purples, which stemmed from the interesting greys I was … Continue reading

Inky Sky #notinktober

Australian Sky Buddha
My sketchbook is about exploring, and I wasn’t completely happy with my first Buddha. I tried another using TWSBI Eco 1.1 with Robert Oster Australian Sky Blue ink. This is a Buddha-of-the-Sky! What do you think? I call him Buddhaball … Continue reading
