Pen & Ink truck with a watercolor wash

I don't paint or draw trucks. This is my very first truck. It is a rusty old truck sitting on an old farm. I don't even ride in trucks very often. My husband owns a small truck, he just uses it to haul stuff, to the dump. So it is kind of weird that I would draw and paint a truck. This is a pen & ink drawing, with a watercolor wash.

When I saw the photo of this truck, I just had to draw it. The photo reference for this truck was taken by Joseph Honings, He titled the photo An old truck on an old farm.

I wash thinking of just making this one pen & ink.

But then while working on it, I smudged my ink. UGH!

So I gave it a watercolor wash, so that the smudge wouldn't

show up so much.

Pen & Ink Door

This painting is Pen & Ink with a watercolor wash. The reference photo for this painting was taken by Max Hemingway. He named the photo Secret Door. While painting this drawing with the watercolor wash, I wanted to make the bricks look more realistic, so my husband swept our driveway for me to get a bit of sand. While the wash on the bricks was still wet, I sprinkled sand over the brick area. I think that the sand did make a difference, and helped the bricks look a bit more realistic. I am happy with this painting.

Altered Glass Bottle

The inspiration for this altered glass bottle came from Mixed Media Artist Ilene Barrette McInnes. To cover my glass bottle I used torn book pages, a potion of the cover of the book, embroidery floss, 2 paper beads, 2 seed beads, & Mod Podge Antique Matt. I really like the way that my altered glass bottle turned out. :)

Pen & Ink Rooster

Pen & Ink Window

I have wanted to paint a window all summer. Just a window. Not just any old window. I wanted a window with character. Everywhere we went this summer I looked, and looked for the perfect window. I could not find one that I really liked and wanted to paint. Then I found a web site called Paint my Photo, and that is where I found the window that I wanted to paint. The reference photo for this Pen, Ink, & watercolor wash, painting was taken by Ruth Archer. She named the photo, Seem Better Days. I fell in LOVE with the photo and just had to paint it!
