Ai - Page of heads made smile. Looks like you had fun. Pine Cone - The precision of your line work and angles I assumed it was digital before I saw the sketchbook. 🙀 as you can tell I look before I read. And my consternation was with ripping the pages out! Raised that ripping pages from a...

As - agree with Jade. The line quality of the iron gives it a heavy satisfying look. And the thinner lines on the hand look more flexible. Like the pond and bridge scene. The space toy made me smile. Rendered beautifully. That Buddha is almost in the canal! Your student drawings give you a lot...

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 -...
