Joan's Inktober Sketches

[Artyczar]

These are all beautiful. That is so cool that you have published books of your work. I have only done that once (printed books, that is) on Lulu. I made a kind of catalog many years ago and am fixing to publish another soon of a sketchbook technique.

Joan, wonderful sketches all of them. I enjoyed the month. You have such a marvelous eye for composition. You see potential paintings in places that I know I would completely miss. Then you do a lovely sketch of it.

You draw very well and have a great control over the different tools and media. I particularly like the twig and ink drawings for their painterly approach.

Yummy, RED tomatoes. Love.

Thanks Ai, Artyczar, Anne, Pl Barrie and Jo. Your comments are a boost to my ego.

This one was done with the twig and Chinese ink.

I was out in Wading River and found this field to sketch with my Noodler's brown ink. I like the way it works for "earthy" sketches. I'm not sure what had been growing here but I liked the furrows in the field.

This was sketched in the same area as the sketch above. I thought the fence added something to the sketch. I used my Elegant Writer pen where I knew I wanted shading and my Lamy filled with Platinum Carbon ink for other spots.

This is a local restaurant. I haven't eaten there in quite a while but maybe I need to check it out again from the inside.

Here is my final Inktober 2021 sketch. I was out painting with two friends and when I finished the first watercolor I turned around and sketched this Bayville scene. I left it simple...ink lines only and no shading. Thanks for viewing my Inktober sketches. I will have to try to do ink sketches on a more regular basis.

Congratulations on finishing Inktober, Joan. Your variety of styles and methods have been so inspiring - and the last few sketches are no exception (particularly love that brown furrowed scene). Thanks for sharing all these with us!

Thank you, Triss, Dm7, and Artyczar. Inktober is a fun challenge. I've been lucky to have been able to do it for quite a few years.

These are all so full of life and interest. I love to travel in your world with your sketches and paintings. Congrats on finishing Inktober!
