Inktober 4,5,6.

The next three inktober contributions. I am still finding it difficult. It is as though my originality has dried up. I think a good idea would be to continue doing inktober drawings until the end of the year. By then I should at least have found some zing.

Inktober 4: Build. Ink and pen in stillman and birn sketchbook.

This wheelbarrow has seen better days, but it can still get the job done.

Inktober 5. Freeze. Ink and nib pen in stillman and birn sketchbook.

This is the African penguin, commonly known as the Jackass penguin.

Inktober 6. Husky.Ink and wash in Stillman and birn sketchbook.

I couldn’t come up with my own reference for a husky dog, so our German shepherd was the next best thing.

Inktober 1,2,3.

I have decided to join Inktober this year. A whole month of using mainly ink. I haven’t sketched in such a long time and I can feel the stiffness of my arm, the laziness in my observation and even my artistic interpretation is rusty. So this Inktober will be a good challenge to get back into the groove.

Inktober 1: Ring. “Keyrings” Lamy fountain pen and watercolor in stillman and birn sketchbook.

Oct 1 ring

Inktober 2: Mindless. “Skull”. Pigment liner and wash  in Stillman and birn sketchbook.

Oct 2 mindless

Inktober 3: Bait. “Rouget barbet”. Lamy fountain pen and watercolor in Stillman and birn sketchbook.

Oct 3 Bait

A still life and a plein air in oil;

Yesterday was cold and grey and it was unpleasant being outside, so a still life was my choice of duty. I felt much better after completion of the still life; Not sure whether it is was the fact that I painted, ot the bright yellow of the suflowers. Probably a good mix of both.

Today was sunny and warm and pleasant. No question. A plein air was on the the to-do-list. The garden is in a state of neglect with us working on the house and the cottage the last few months. I think the painting perfectly reflects the charotic character of my unkempt garden of late.
