Inking Out Loud - 11-21-2021

Hey Laura, good to see you. Hope you're having a great, great Sunday. My sound was turned off? I didn't even realize it, so thank you for telling me. Hope all is well. You're watching The Wheel of Time on Amazon? Ooh, looks like it would fit right in. That is so cool to hear. I haven't watched it. I know it was a very— or it is a very popular book series, I believe. That's so cool. I'm just doing something very tellish, maybe castle or something in the woods, the wilderness, somewhere in fairy tale land. Have an awesome Sunday. You should be able to hear the music, I think. I think the music was turned on, but I forgot to turn my voice on. But the music is more fun. I'd rather hear the music than my voice any day. That's what I would— that's my preference. I don't like the way I sound. Cool. Yeah, it's looking really cool. I like the way it's drying. I'm just using ink and watercolors on this. I'm trying to be patient as the watercolor dries. So far it's good. Yes, it The music was on, but I was off. Yes, I've been somewhat MIA again. Well, it's good to see you back again. I'm very rarely on Sundays. I just wanted to pop on for a little lunch, creative infusion lunch break here before I could do some schoolwork or yard work. I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking this needs a pop of color somewhere. It's pouring down rain, so your hard work is out the question. I'm not sure when I'm gonna get my crate back on, but I miss it. It was good to catch you here. Yes, thank you, uh, glad to see See you. Love you. Get your crate back on soon. Even if you could just make 5 minutes for it at some point, it's, uh, really helpful for me. It's very helpful for sure. There's some bright color on here, but I think I'm gonna wait for it to dry. I want to pop something out. I think I know what color I want to use, but I'm gonna wait for it to dry. Maybe I'll pop the roofs out a little bit as well. Cool. I'm gonna do one quick sketch in my other sketchbook while this dries and wrap up and head out, or to the desk to do work. Just gonna mess around. I have this scrap paper here. Oh, look, it's half scrap, half not scrap. So I have this tower I worked on the other day just for fun. I'm going to maybe use the same sheet of paper. I'll just do some quick sketching on it. I'm going to restart this song because I love it so much. Good color palette for this piece. Yeah. Yeah, I'm thinking this, I think I'm gonna add, I'm going bright. I think I wanna use some, I love using fluorescent pink. So I think I'm gonna be popping some fluorescent pink here on the roof areas maybe. That's what my guts tell me. Give a little pop to it. Cool. This piece is cool. This is all primary colors here. I was just kind of messing around with graphite and watercolor. Let's do a sketch. Let's put that song back on. Alright, here we go. Yeah, deep red color. That was my other choice. It was going to be a pink or a red. So we're on the same wavelength for sure. Yeah, I was thinking either one. For here. I want to go with, I think, the pink to make it have a more whimsical feel to it. Cool. All right, what are we gonna do? Let's get my pen out. I have— maybe we'll use the green. We'll do some green ink sketching here. Green Lamy ink. All right, let's do it. Remove the watercolors so I don't put my hand in it. Actually, maybe I'll add to this scene. I don't know. We'll see what happens. Oh, this pen's being fussy again. Alright, that's a wrap for this quick— it wasn't actually quick, it's longer than I thought it would be. Time flies when you are sketching and painting. So have an awesome rest of your weekend. I am outta here. I need to go do Catch up on housework and homework. Always make time to do something creative, even if it's for 5 minutes a day. Could make a difference. Just could. Thanks for watching. Have an awesome, awesome day. Take care. Have a great, great afternoon. Enjoy your week.
