Finally got around to scanning this page of nib tryout bird sketches I did last month. No pencil underdrawing, just pen and ink directly from my reference photos. Dip pen nibs, Platinum Carbon ink on 9x12” Strathmore 300 vellum bristol. Pretty happy with all the nibs. #penandink #pennibs #blackandwhite #birds #birdart #wildlifeart #wildlifeartist #wildlifeartistsoninstagram #animalart #animalartists #animalartistsofinstagram
SketchWild- The world of nature, one sketch at a time
Very pleased to announce that “In His Prime- Argali Ram” has been accepted into “Petz and Animalz” 3 Square Art’s upcoming exhibition in Fort Collins, Colorado. What makes this one special and one of the reasons I entered is that the juror was longtime illustrator and now fine artist Bob Coonts, who I have never met but certainly had heard of. The argali ram in the painting is one that I encountered at Ikh Nartiin Chuluu Nature Reserve a few years ago. It’s part of my “New Direction” series in which I combine a realistic depiction of my subject with Mongolian decorative motifs.

Bonus! Image 3 ;0)- Decides that I’d also post the full spread of the two sketches. They each took around 20 minutes, not counting time yakking with the other artists who were there. I really LOVE this Stillman and Birn Delta series paper. Just the right amount of tone and a good weight that can take a wash.
Also signature bound so I can work across the gutter or end up with nice facing pages like I did today. The Sakura pen moved very smoothly as did the water brush I used with the Derwent water soluble colored pencils.

1 of 2- The Sunday Paintout group I belong to met today, Saturday, because there’s a storm coming in tomorrow. As you can see the clouds were already coming in. We met at the Arcata Marsh main parking lot, which gives a view of the entire northern end of Humboldt Bay. I did two pieces, this one looking to the west and the north spit. Sakura Micron .01 pen and Derwent water-soluble colored pencils in a Stillman and Burn Delta series landscape format soft side sketchbook.
