Sick and at home brings out the artist in me.



From bed to couch, and couch to bed since January 1, with a brief stint on an Amtrak train traveling home from NYC with Al on January 2. The losest I've gotten to "outside" is the garage, and I've only gone there because the fridge is in there (long story for a other times). 

Eventually, I reached my fill of Rom-Com movies, and dredged up enough energy to do some artwork. I've decided too do a piece every day, and have begun in a moleskine journal really intended more for drawing tha for watercolor. I intended to focus on continuing to build colored pencil skills, especially disappointed to miss the first class of the new semester course at Danforth Art due to this stupid virus. However, I've been eloping the concept of urban sketching, so I've added some pen and ink sketch with watercolor as well. Here are my finished products to date, in order of completion:

January 8th



January 9th



January 10th


And today, January 11th


Let's see if I can keep it up. One thing is for sure, I can't wait to complete this journal so I can move to heavier paper! Love the new Schmincke paint pans...amazing color, and should be great for travel.
