Going backyards this week from yesterday, my grand kids (three of our five) came to visit for three days and per usual we make art together at their request. I drew my grandson twice "A" and my grand daughter "Y" once, plus us in the background for this group shot. I am sure there will be more like this for next week to be drawn today and tomorrow...
Meanwhile, back in Sketchbook Skool, I did a one line drawing of myself to show off my new glasses using a water soluble Pilot gel pen and watercolors ...
Over at my other blog: Paper, Paint, Pencils & Pens, we are following the theme of "Wildlife", so I drew this kitten my husband befriended at the house we stayed in in Arcata, CA over the forth of July. Also a one liner (don't lift pen from paper start to finish) ... and watercolor.
... and Henry V, our cat, in several posed done live!
This horse spotted in a Wyoming pasture is also a one liner and watercolor ....
... as is the ram, seen in Custer State Park, a one liner and watercolor ....
The first assignment this week in Sketchbook Skool was to draw three objects using one line only and frame it leaving some parts out of the frame. This class is taught by Brenda Swenson.
... another one liner ...
And one more selfie done from a photo taken in a toy shop where my husband and I were trying on silly hats!
I like how the silver pen I used, a gel pen I think, makes the silver leather look shiny as it was.
All this put on my new Student Body Card designed by one of the other students using Danny Gregory's logo for the class and that student's calligraphy. They call me "Flash" because I produce a lot of art over a short period of time.
Wishing you a creative week!
Happy Paint Party Friday!

ReplyDeletefun fun fun ! love the style on one-line art! you are certainly an adventuresome and lively person ..I can tell by your happy art works. I especially love the self portrait... so so cool !
ReplyDeleteWonderful drawings this week, Lynn. I enjoyed seeing each one of them from the shiny helmet to the sketch of the fruit. And the kids! I know they enjoyed being in on the post. Thanks for the fun visit.
ReplyDeleteYour style is so distinct and unique. I love it! I adore the humor you put into your artwork, which truly does fill my eyes--which is the greatest compliment I can give.
ReplyDeleteWow Lynn, awesome work!! I've always love the way you work. I enjoyed the visit, have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteDid you mean two of your five Grandkids? Not three? Love the family portrait. Love the space hat. Lol flash fits for,sure. Really like the color gel pen you used for your new glasses pix. But your face isn't that fat. Lol well,done Flash. :))
ReplyDeletebusy lady!! Beautiful work!! The continuous line drawing Ifound challenging!! Yours are amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt is great seeing all the work you get done in a week. Looks like you will have some fun art time with the grandkids. I love the one with the silly silver hat, that looks like you belong in outer space. I think they gave you an appropriate nickname. lol
ReplyDeleteFirst off, how great that the grand-kids came to visit. I am really inspired by your one-line drawings/paintings. I think I need to try doing it and see what comes out. Have a great PPF!!! Hugs, Rasz #64
ReplyDeleteGreat drawings and sketches.
ReplyDeleteHi Flash! Lol, I like that :-)
ReplyDeleteThe one-liners seem to support your drawing style very well. The animals you have drawn are more substantial (if that's the way to put it?) I like them all very much.
And your self-portraits are just fantastic!
I hope to find out a way to schedule time for blogging regularly, so I can join you again on Paper, Paints, Pencils and Pens!
Happy PPF

ReplyDeletehaha, Flash! Very appropriate, since you do produce so much in a seemingly short time. Love that first illustration of your grandkids, and the animals are looking fab too!
ReplyDeleteHaven't visited in ages but I think of you often, as I do Oregon...love your stuff and the Arcata kitty is lovely!
