Art Supplies

Art Supplies was the theme for the Patchogue Sketch Club recently. I pulled out a bit of everything that I had for sketching...pens, bottles of ink, brushes, a mini watercolor set, a pencil, and some crayons. 

New Art Supplies & Assorted Objects

I was having fun with the continuous line sketches so I pulled out some of the new art supplies I got for Christmas and had a go sketching them that way. Then of course I added color. 

While I was in a continuous line frame of mind I did a few items for the scavenger hunt over on creativespark.art. An umbrella, a bottle, a fruit, a veggie and a lock were on the list.

Happy New Year & Assorted Postings

 Happy New Year to all! 

I don't know how we reached the end of 2023 so quickly. The year just flew by! I hope you ended 2023 on a good note. Wishing you a 2024 filled with joy, peace, love, and inspiration. My thanks to you for following me along on my artistic journey. I really appreciate your support.

As one of my Christmas gifts Jerry got me a few new art materials that I needed or wanted. Here are a few of them. This was done as a continuous line sketch with watercolor added later.

I got a Christmas package in the mail from my niece, Jaime. A few years ago we decided to no longer exchange gifts among the families so it was surprising to see something from her. When I opened it I found something she had specially made from one of my sketches that I did last year of the steps for making my mom's pierogi recipe. She had it printed on a kitchen towel. She not only sent it to me but to my other siblings too who all make her recipe for the holidays. I thought it was so sweet of her. 

Here is the original sketch that she used.
