RBG Missed #notinktober

I have a few sketches of her passing in my journal. I was a fan long before, and if you haven’t read her biography, it is a great read. She was what we need right now… NOT Amy. I love … Continue reading

Booksellers #notinktober

We watched the movie The Booksellers and it was so good…. I want to step back in time to a different place where things were slower and instant gratification was not the high point of everyone’s life. So many great … Continue reading

VSW Sydney, 4, #notinktober

Inky Sky #notinktober

Pure color. Not easy to do a wash in inks (or watercolor, but I find the latter easier). I think it is because you are adding a bit of water in the waterbrush, and the ink doesn’t really want to … Continue reading
