Quick, loose ink sketch of a farm near Jolicure, N Quick, loose ink sketch of a farm near Jolicure, New Brunswick. Really rough, but mainly done as an excuse to try a technique @PaulHeaston hinted at recently — diluted ink in a waterbrush. Looking forward to trying more like this, but maybe without the ink explosion next time? (See fingernails.)

8 hour, 40-minute digital painting of an apartment 8 hour, 40-minute digital painting of an apartment building on my street at night. From a reference photo I took this summer. Swipe for time-lapse video. Time to call this one done and move on, I think. Learned a lot about Procreate on this; mostly how much I have left to learn. I left the wordmark off the side of the van, because I used Procreate’s type tool to recreate it, so it felt like cheating (plus it’s set in squished Times New Roman & letter-spaced lower-case Arial — not my thing); you get a brief glimpse of the wordmark in the video. I did draw the hawk logo, though. :)[visit watercolours.ca] . . . #art #fineart #landscape #landscapepainting #landscapepainter #architecture #archisketcher #studio #USk #urbansketch #van #panelvan #sackville #tantramar #newbrunswick #nb #explorenb #eastcoast #maritimes #atlanticcanada #canada #canadianart #global_sketchers #fontsnob #typography. .
