Joan apologies. I got gwrapped up in trying to answer Robin before head out to PT and dentist. Your snow tracks are great. I see this after working trying to capture the depressed look that actually has layers of depth, You did it well. The grasses and distant trees are now part of your...

Robin - Assuming you mean hoe to scale to fit creativespark size limit. There are probably dozens of ways to do it. These are the two I use: 1 the simplest is to create a New Canvas the size you want to post. I used 800 pixels square and name it Online Format. When you save as JPG it is ready...

Joan and Pine Cone - thanks for takin* the time to comment snd support. Greatly Appreciated. Fletch

Joan - This is a bit off the wall but my first thought of the kitchen sketch was it looked like a robbery. (Four people in black wearing masks.) Well done in what turned into a fun sketch from my view. Are Neocolors classed as oil pastel or watercolor sticks. The effect without water is pretty...

Thanks jo and snoball. Appreciate your support and encouragement. Ready to sign…

Donna and Jade, thank you for the encouraging words. Fletch

Doing this painting as a gift for a friend who grew up in northern farm country. I wanted to capture the atmosphere and glow of golden hour at dusk. While still an idea in my head I named it “End of the Day”. Have had it sitting a few days now and thinking the front of the barn is too warm and...

THANKS TO ALL FOR THE BIRTHDAY WISHES! Robin - Using rare materials to draw rare materials is fun idea and the drawing looks fun. Cool pencil toppers. Ned 👋🏽 Joan - Merging layers is easiest and most consistent using the menu. Touch on layer name and menu pops up. Love how you did the huge...

Well, am at the let it sit for a few days picking out what needs to be corrected. Am happy overall other than the front of the barn which is too warm and too bright. Comments and constructive criticism welcomed. Hoping to do some Hunt sketches tomorrow. Fletch

Off topic as not from life but is currently my art life. Going for a soft “End of Day” golden hour atmosphere either footsteps heading out Is a Work In Progress (WIP) comments and criticisms welcome

Happy Birthday Ai! A day late but wishes still there. Joan - love the background tree effect on Holbrook Diner. Keep looking at your mobile home sketch and thinking substitute palm trees for evergreens and it could be SWFL. On the dinosaur the only word that keeps coming to mind is WOW. The...

Hi all. PT tomorrow and hoping to comment on all the great work I been lurking at. The little time left for art has been on a cp drawing I am doing for a friend. Not from life obviously. Hard to do anything in cp from life unless it’s a quick still life. Fletch

Jo - Love the dgi. It has an illustration quality to it. Tuesday and Thursday are Sharon’s standing appointments. This week is a full docket with MD appointments on Monday and Friday as well. Joan - Great detail in the pizza sketch and of course beautifully proportioned people. #1 underneath -...

Joan - concur with the others the shadows in the beach fence sketch are beautifully done. Urban Sketchers colors are terrific especially for chel 'eap set you never used! Would never have guessed those two paintings were not with your regular palette. The grasses in the no parking painting...

Thanks to all for kind supportive comments. Joan - am pretty sure when you export to .jpg that collapse the layers in that new version but original will stay layered. But to merge layers in your drawing I know 2 ways 1) pinch the layer names together 2) tap on layer name get menu and tap merge...
