Sketching a Loose Style Fishing Shack

In this live YouTube stream, architect and educator Jason Nicholas sketches a whimsical, "wonky" fishing shack while demonstrating a variety of drawing and mixed‑media tools. He explains his approach to creating exaggerated, playful architecture, showcases the behavior of different pens (Sharpie, Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen, Pilot Varsity, Preppy, Lamy) and inks, experiments with ink bleeding on cold‑press Fabriano watercolor paper, and adds color using watercolor pencils, Winsor & Newton watercolor markers, and red Pilot Precise ink. Throughout the session he interacts with a lively chat, answers questions about materials, shares anecdotes from a recent graduation event, promotes an upcoming paid Zoom workshop on July 20 that will teach his "S‑K‑E‑T‑C‑H" sketching workflow, and discusses his teaching background, schedule preferences, and the zen‑like benefits of night sketching. He also mentions product partnerships (Pilot, Lockbie tool roll) and encourages viewers to follow his website theinspiredlife.com for tool lists and discounts.

Hello, happy Wednesday! Hope you're doing well today. Thanks for, uh, joining me for a few minutes here as I just do some quick sketching, um, tonight before I head off to sleepy land. So I thought tonight I would sketch, um, kind of a wonky fishing shack inspired sketch here. You might see on the bottom left of the screen I have a link posted and a QR code for an upcoming workshop on July 20th. Where I'm gonna be spending 2 hours on Zoom, um, teaching anybody in the workshop how to sketch these kind of wonky fishing shacks. So I thought it'd be fun to come on, just do kind of a quick sketch here, and, uh, yeah, say hello. Hope you're all having a great day. D-Ray, great to see you. Linda H, great to see you as well. Michael, great to see you. And Becky, I love seeing you guys pop on here. So cool. So if I sound tired, I am tired. We had a long day. We had graduation practice outside today after school. It's sweltering here in New Jersey. Um, yeah, so that kind of wore me out. And then I had the fun opportunity to go and, um, connect and go meet some students that graduated last year. We, uh, got together and had a nice meal at a diner. And let me just tell you, it is so cool to be in touch and connected with these kids that graduated last year. It's, uh And I told them, for me, it's just, it's a special thing to have them still want to talk to one of their high school teachers. And yeah, it's great. It's, it was such a great rewarding experience and very honored to have been able to spend some time with them. So all good stuff. So I'm just catching a quick outline here of a Fishing shack. It's not quite as wonky as I thought it would be, so to make it wonkier, I'm going to actually just kind of make some walls a little more slanty. I'm even going to just distort this wall a lot. I'm going to pull this roof line out and curve it. Curving roof lines helps create a wonky look. And I'm going to bow this wall out, just kind of make it wavy. I'm exaggerating, just being playful. Using a Sharpie That way if I go to add color, um, the black won't bleed. I'll show you some examples of past Fishing Shacks. So here are some examples of ones I've done in the past. Pretty cool. Any of these are available if you're interested. Let me know. I'm willing to sell any of these cool original Fishing Shack sketch— sketches. There is one in here that's already spoken for. But pretty cool. I love this. It's just Sharpie with some ink for the sky. This one's actually sold. I have to mail it. This was the last one I did. Really fun, playful, whimsical. I'm imagining this almost being a story, maybe a children's storybook type of illustration. But here you can see a really exaggerated kind of the bendiness of the roof, the curve here to give that wonky look to it. So just, um, just these little differences can make it playful or whimsical, right? There's a pretty simple one with a sepia sky background. I really like the clouds happening here. What else we got in here? I just grabbed some random ones here. This was a cool, just a little shack, a little beach, kind of beach cottage maybe. And then here's another one. I like this one, just black and white, pretty cool. So that is the idea. That's— those are the kinds of things we'll be sketching on the workshop on July 20th. Love to see some of you guys there. Um, yeah, that'd be so cool. So feel free to check out the QR code that goes to the website and There's also a web address too. All right, cool. Let's throw some wonky windows on here, then we're going to throw a splash of color, and I'll check in with the chat in a little— in a few minutes. So feel free to leave questions, comments. So when you see me draw roofs or, uh, roofs. I used to say ruffs when I went to school in Miami. So when we draw ruffs, roofs, this is how I show kind of a metal panel roofing, that look to it. Um, I have a new pen I'm going to try out as well, so let's play around with that too. And let's, let's play with it now. Why not? So we're just having some playtime tonight. I don't know if I'll actually throw color on this one tonight. Um, here's a, here's a new pen. So this is a Pilot Metropolitan, Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen. Loving this cool green color, kind of retro design. You can see, I think this is a medium tip on here. Sorry, it's a little blurry. Medium tip. You can put refillable ink cartridges like this one in there. It also comes with a— oh my gosh, I'm forgetting the technical word. Dang it, I'm drawing a blank. Um, but it comes with a, um, like almost like a siphon. What is the word, guys? A siphon, which is suck ink up out of an inkwell. You can put that in the back, squeeze it, dip your pen in the inkwell, and let go of this, and it'll suck ink into it. Gosh darn it, I know the name. And you guys have been following me, you know my memory brain turns to turn off after— turns to turn off after, uh, see, I can't even talk after 8 o'clock PM. Told you I was tired. Let's just do some fun sketching on here. And this, this ink will bleed So this is cool. We'll see how it bleeds. So let's show, um, some siding. Let's just do some vertical siding. I've only used this pen once or twice. I haven't really used it that much. I had gotten one last week, um, and I ended up giving it away to one of my students who, um, she's a really great artist and I'm always trying to encourage her. So we're looking at the pen and I, I, she seems to have like, she seemed to like it, so I just kind of gave it away and then I got a new one here. So I'm, uh, using cold press paper. There's a texture and this Metropolitan pen is writing really well on the cold press paper, so I'm digging it. I like the feel of it, has a nice weight to it. So, so far so good. But let's just throw some water on to see how it bleeds. So I'm not even going to do any watercolor or anything. Let's just mess around with this ink. It's going to dip into some dirty water. So here's my water. I like using dirty water. It goes with my aesthetic and my industrial vibe. You can definitely see, um, let's see One of these had it on there pretty well. You can kind of see all like those rusty kind of colors and things happening. So I, I tend to use dirty water a lot because it goes with my industrial grungy vibe. But let's just see how this black ink, this Metropolitan ink— I guess it's Pilot ink— is bleeding. This is the ink that came with the pen. So you can kind of see it bleeding here. And just for the heck of it— oh, I don't have any, um, paper towels. That's all right. When there's no paper towels, we will just kind of brush it off on the paper. Um, actually, you know what I'm gonna throw down? Let's just throw down some red Pilot ink on here. All right, I'm gonna check in, see if you guys have any questions or comments, and say hello. Again, so here's that Pilot Metropolitan pen. Hey, Janice is in the house. It's hot. Yeah, Janice, hot here too. I get it. Great to see you, Janice. Long time. Sheila's in the house. Sheila, I hope all's well. D-Ray, great to see you as well. Love it, love it. Michael says, what paper are you currently using? Yeah, Michael, this is Dun dun dun dun. I will show you. This is just— this is actually for a different size but the same paper. 1264 Fabriano watercolor, 140-pound. The paper I'm using is 7 by 8 inches. My favorite format size actually is— I love this 4 by 8 kind of landscape format. Great paper. I used to use the Canson Canson watercolor paper a lot. It was in a spiral-bound book like this one here. So you can see it's spiral-bound. Um, you see, it's a Canson version of this, but I switched to Fabriano. I'm— for me personally, I'm liking the texture of the Fabriano paper better, so that's kind of why I switched. Nothing wrong with the other paper, I just— this is kind of my go-to now, and it was hard to find a while ago, so I kind of bought like 5 of these journals. But I think you can get it again on Amazon. If you guys ever want to know what my commonly used materials are or tools, I have a web page on my website that'll list all those tools. And if anybody wants to put a link to it, that would be cool. Otherwise, go to theinspiredlife.com, just scroll down that first page and you'll see a link to my, my tools I like to use. All right, I said I wasn't going to throw in any color, but I can't resist. Let's just tip in and throw a little bit of color on here. Pilot pen. Yeah, this is a Metropolitan pen by Pilot. I have— here's the case it comes in. Oh, here, here's the, um, the siphon piece. I can't remember the name for this for the life of me, the technical name. You can see you squeeze this This goes in the back of the pen. Dip the pen in the ink. Well, we'll squeeze this, dip the ink in, let go of this, and we'll suck the ink up. So you can see anywhere I use that Pilot ink, it's bleeding. Anywhere I use the Sharpie, it is not bleeding. So 90— I would say 95% of the times I will start my sketches with a Sharpie. That way it gives me the freedom to come back and add some ink and watercolor washes and not worry about the lines, black lines bleeding. Hey, Karen's in the house! Karen, great to see Good to see you. Hope all's well. I love when you guys pop in. Home stretch here, guys. 2 more days of school. I love teaching, but God, it's— I, I'm so ready. We're all ready for it to just to end the school year, get a little break time in. I feel like our school district is one of the latest ones to get out and J—
in New Jersey.
Janice says, I like the red. Hey Janice, that's cool. Yeah, so for the red, I like to actually use a Pilot Precise pen for the red ink. I do have red— I'll show you some red watercolor. I'll do that that right now. But my favorite way to add red is with the Pilot pen. So I just dipped into some red watercolor, and I'll throw that on here. You can see what it looks like. Let's kind of go over the pen. I'll just throw it— added some water a little bit there. Hey, Paula Loves Art. Paula, great to see you. Hope all's well. Welcome to The Inspired Life. I think this might be the first time I've seen your name in the chat. Thanks for joining. So cool. By the way, can you guys let me know if you can hear me okay? I did turn the music up a little bit. In my ears because I kind of needed— well, I love to paint with music, sketch with music, and I turned it up. So again, so, um, lots of times I'll talk about intentions when I— before I start a sketch. So my intention tonight really was to come on here, guys, do a real quick, quick sketch and just show you this new pen I got, just play around with it for a couple minutes. So let's do a little more sketching with it as some of our ink's drying. Maybe we'll, uh, you know, just throw some lines on these posts. So we have like these piers coming up here. This is actually a stair, or maybe it's a ramp going down off of here. Let's show some ballasters or spindles here on the rail, the ramp going down. So I typically use— for the fountain pen, my go-to fountain pen is normally the Lamy. Love, love, love the Lamy. So, so using a different fountain pen is fun, just to play around and see what kind of feel I get. Let's draw some rocks. Let's just imagine we have some kind of rocks in the foreground here. One of the ways I like to show rocks in sketches is almost like a continuous line drawing. So if you look, I'm really not lifting my pen off the paper. So I'm creating these shapes that look kind of rocky-ish, and I don't mean the boxer. I like, I like the way these stones look. I'm not sitting here trying to draw— here's a scrap piece, I'll show you. I'm not really sitting here trying to draw every single stone like this. You could do it, and I've done it, you know, being an architect for how many years now, 20+ years. I've done a lot of drawings and renderings where, you know, I would draw every stone one at a time, right? You get that, you can get that kind of look, or I can make them blockier, but I find this method I'm doing here is quicker. And I actually learned this from the first architect I worked for out of college, Mr. John Booth. If he's ever out there watching this, that would be so cool. Um, I remember John would sketch his stones kind of like this, and it's faster and it keeps you— keeps me looser as well. I'm not thinking about individual shapes. I'm really just thinking about continuous lines, right? See how quick I'm kind of doing it? So that's a real quick way to show us some stones. Um, Paul loves the red also. That's so cool. Let's break out some more of the red Pilot pen on this. This one is super duper loose. This is still wet on here. Actually, we're gonna just go over this with some of that red. Let's see if I can pull out a sketch here I did. You guys can see a little better example of the red on here. Let's check it out. Um, actually, you can see it on here. I just use red to kind of touch it in some areas, like on the buoys here, a little bit on the edge of the building, in the window area. You can see it on here as well, there's a little bit of red pen on here. So it does make its way on these sketches. Um, if I pull out some of my newer New York City sketches, you definitely see red on there too. What else? That's just another example. Oh wow, the roof is rusting before our eyes. Yeah, look at this, D-Ray. I love that you said that. Yeah, check out the way the colors are drying. Love it, love it. This is— I think I was saying to I was saying to somebody the other day, maybe Chip, I forget who, but, um, I love watching paint dry. I love watching this stuff dry. This excites me when it starts drying and taking on different forms. It's, it's transforming right before our eyes. It's so cool. Um, rust is my thing, right? So I'm always trying to get the best rusty look I can. I'm just dipping a little more turquoise on here. So I'm so glad you picked that up. Good call. So you can see that Paul says, yes, my first time here live. That's so cool. I am so glad you're here. Thank you all for watching, joining, liking this, sharing it. I do appreciate— I really appreciate it. This is my thing. This is my love. This is my passion. Whether I'm sketching an imaginary fishing shack or building or I'm trying to sketch an Empire State Building or a real piece of architecture somewhere. I just love— I love architecture. I love being an architect, and I love teaching architecture to high school students. So I'm really, really lucky to be teaching something I enjoy, that's for sure. Uh, let's see what else. I'm just— I got these the other day. I did a quick demo. If you had— if you didn't see, I think the last video I did, or the one before this, check it out on my Facebook replays or YouTube. On YouTube, I think if you go to the live section videos, you might see me demoing these. These are really fun watercolor pencils. Love the colors. So I'm just going to dip in— what do I want? Uh, you know, I'm just— I want something fun. I'm just going to— this is called Pick the Raspberry. I love the names of these. This is a very, very fun set of watercolor pencils. Uh, just got them the other day, so still kind of new to them. So it's all about being playful and experimenting, so that's what what I'm doing, right? Trying different things and not worrying. So Distress Watercolor Pencils, this is what I'm using. Um, so far my favorite way to use these has been to literally just dip them in the water and sketch paint with them. I call this sketch painting. So I want some vibrancy, so I'm going to pop some of this Pick the Raspberry color. We'll throw some down in the rocks. So you will see the black ink probably bleed because it was that Pilot ink. We got some of the pink going there. Let's throw some pink over here on this, on this, um, post. I mean, you could also just put them on the paper dry and brush over them with water, or just leave them kind of raw, right? Don't even add water to it, kind of like I'm doing here. There's multiple ways to use these. Hope you guys are enjoying this really quick demo. Probably gonna head off in a minute or so because yeah, I got school tomorrow. Um, all right, so I'm going to add my zestiness. My little bit of zest, which is lemon yellow. Uh, some water. Grab a drink. Alright, let's look at some questions and see, uh, we'll wrap things up. Rocks are adding so much. Oh, thanks, D-Ray. Yeah, they're fun. So the rocks kind of just give it a little setting in the foreground. Again, this, this is super duper quick, but yeah. So the idea of the rocks is add a different texture, maybe kind of put something in the front which kind of anchors the building down a little bit more. Um, what's different effects with that fountain pen you're using and the Pilot disposables that you use? Great question, great question. So the Pilots, you're talking about the Pilot Varsity pens, right? Uh, so I can grab one here. Where the heck are my Pilot Varsity pens? Oh, you know what, I think I brought them to school. Actually, I think I brought my Pilot Varsity pens to school today. So they're very, very— they're kind of similar, to be honest with you. This has— this— the pen itself has a different feel and different weight to it, so physically it feels different. Um, great question. I'm going to answer that on another stream when I have them next to each other. I can do a comparison. Right now it's the weight of the pen. As far as different effects, I think it's the same sort of effects. I'm guessing you can get similar color cartridges to put in here as well. So great, great question. Let's, uh, we'll investigate that a little bit further. Thanks for throwing it out there. Tin roof rusted. Yes, from the Love Shack. That's awesome. I'm gonna wonk this up a little bit.
I'm gonna—
we're gonna do a little—
let's see. All right.
I'm gonna throw a little Polynesian kind of flair on the top of this. This reminds me of when I went to Disney at the Polynesian. The architecture has this kind of detail on the top of the roof lines. Ah, what's called— what color should we throw down? You know what? I'm just gonna put some intense turquoise on here. We're really gonna just pop this thing out. And you know what, let's throw some down here. Right now I'm just, just grabbing some brown watercolor. It's right— this was that Pilot ink. You could see it bleeding. I'm just kind of dabbing it into the rocks a little bit, so gray them out or gray them up a little bit there. Karen says this is one of the fishing shacks. Uh, yeah, Karen, this is a— this is just a real quick fishing shack sketch. So great, great question. I showed some of the other examples. So in the workshop, for whoever joins on the 20th, I'll kind of— we'll slow down the process. I'll give you some pro tips. We'll go through my sketch, S-K-E-T-C-H, kind of outline of how I approach sketching buildings. Right here's some other examples. I really love this one. I'm kind of thinking about doing a— I'd love to do some kind of children's illustration book with these types of sketches. I think they really are whimsical for children's stories. I'm gonna keep this one out because I gotta mail— I have to mail this one out. All right, cool. Paul says, I like the bleeding ink there. Thank you so much. Great song too, The Love Shack. Hey Karen, thank you for, um, sending stars on over on Facebook. I appreciate that. It's really— it's so cool, it's so helpful. So, you know, with stars It helps to support what I'm doing and allows me to buy different, you know, some different supplies and test them out and kind of show you guys how they work. So thank you so much, I really appreciate that. Um, this is missing blue. I feel like I need to add some blue to this, and I'm actually going to use— I have a Preppy pen, so this is a Preppy pen. Um, the nib on this is much more fine than on here. These— so the Pilot Varsity pens, you cannot replace the ink, but these Preppy pens you can buy refills. Let's throw some blue. I want to add some shadows. I don't know how well it's going to work. On this wet area, but let's try it. Kind of rushing this a little bit. Sometimes I would let this dry in between adding layers, but kind of just crunch for time, so I'm going for it, throwing it down. And I'll bleed some of this blue, and you can see how it, how it looks. Oops, let's see. I might not really show up that well because it's on top. Yeah, it's, it's bleeding, but looks kind of black. So this is really wet on wet. I would really let it dry next time before I throw this blue on top. Womp womp womp. Oh, right. This movement may be for water. Yeah, so I could definitely see the way the bleeding, the rocks could add some movement. Right, cool. Let me know if you have any final questions or comments, guys, then we're going to wrap. Me, I might, I might go to a regular-ish schedule this summer. I never want to commit myself to a regular schedule. I'm afraid to commit myself because I feel like if I commit to a regular schedule and show up on these live streams I'm gonna kind of pre-plan too much instead of just being more off, off the cuff and on the fly. I like to create kind of spontaneously. Um, if I know I'm gonna be on like, say, every Wednesday or every Monday, I'm gonna start planning these out. And for me, that might get kind of old, planning everything out. So if I maybe went live twice a week, maybe I would schedule one day a week would be okay. I know what I'm doing, more instructional stuff, and then I would just go on randomly another time and just kind of go for it. So I'm kind of playing around with that. I've had people ask me— I've had people express kind of frustration that I'm not on consistently. Um, I get it, I get it. So I will see how that goes. I mean, the replays are always available as well. I love this purple. This is a purple var— oh, I do have Varsity pens. Here's the other Pilot pen. Aha, grabbed it. So the inks are not refillable in these Pilot pens. Much lighter. So that is the big difference between these two, refillable versus non-refillable. But I, I love this purple color. This is so fun. So whenever I need purple, the quick purple, I'll go to this here. Quick red, I'll go to the— this one here. Is it becoming like a Pilot commercial? So Pilot, if you're listening, know that I love and use your pens. Just putting that out there. Yeah, look at, look at what the purple's doing over here, right? Especially on top of that turquoise. This is looking really cool.
Ta-da!
Ta-da! All right, let's do one more thing before I wrap up. I know I said— I always say I'm gonna wrap up like 10 times before I actually wrap up. Um, where are my colored pencils? I took a bunch of stuff to school. Uh, let's see, that's— we have a pink here, so let's throw it on some pink colored pencil, my fave. One of my fave color pencil colors is neon pink, and my other one is light aqua. I have a bunch of— I have like 3 or 4 other fave colors. Cool. So I like to throw down neon pink. For me, it adds kind of a final touch of some whimsy. Notice I'm just kind of touching it here and there. Usually I'll do it in 3 places, maybe 5 places. So I have it 1, 2, 3, 4, and let's just throw some over— let's throw some over in this area. You see that? Those pops of pink just make it a little more playful. Becky says rainbow fishing shack, awesome. Hey Becky, thank you. It is kind of cool. I'm, I'm liking it for just kind of quick, down and dirty, right? You see some of that's still wet. One of the things that helps me be loose, guys, is just being quick and fast. I like to call it grab-and-go sketching. I'm just grabbing and going with what's kind of nearby, so I'm not stopping and thinking too much. And—
do I want to use this?
Yeah, let's use it. Perfect Barbie pink. Linda knows and loves the Barbie pink. Yes, indeed. What else I want to throw? You know what, let's throw some— let's throw some green kind of here. Maybe we got a grassy edge coming up to these rocks. I don't know, this is— this is, guys, is from my kind of brain right now, just my imagination. I thought— I think maybe throwing some green kind of gives those rocks more of a place than just kind of floating. Michael says, just purchased Winsor Newton watercolor set. The Sharpie markers and the bamboo brush brush using your links. I'm inspired. Thank you. Hey, Michael, that is awesome! Thank you so much, you made my night. That's so cool. Yeah, watch my YouTube channel, there's tons of videos on there. I think I have 500 and something, some slow ones, some time-lapse ones. I want— I'd love to see what you create. I'm so excited for you. That is awesome. Love it, love it. So cool. Liking the style, the fast sketching. I am a subscriber but not sure how I found this page initially. Glad I did though. Hey, Paula, I'm glad you found it too. That is amazing. So cool. Love it, love it. I do want to do something in the background, a color. I'm not sure. You know, do I want to do a cool sunset sky like this one or this one? Do I want to just do something very simple like a sepia type sky? I could leave it plain. You know what I haven't done in a while? Um, I have not used my— let's, let's actually break this out. If you guys want to stick around for another 2 minutes, I'll show you, um, my— something else I really like using are Winsor Newton watercolor markers. So, uh, in a great way, great way to store these, I love, I love my Lockbee tool roll. Right, this is— this Lockbie tool roll is really cool. I have watercolor markers in here, so let's grab the cerulean blue. I know I'm always— I am always plugging and talking about Lockbie. I'm actually a Lockbie ambassador, product ambassador. I talk about them because I love their stuff. If you're interested, go to my website, there's a link. You can actually get 10% off if you use my discount code. Um, yeah, if you have questions, let me know. All right, enough of that. So here's how I like to use these Winsor Newton watercolor markers. I don't like to put them right on the paper. If I put them right on the paper, for me it stains the paper and I can't move the color around. So something I kind of I kind of found out by mistake-ish— we'll just zoom in on this area— is if I take the watercolor marker, you can see it down here, I've already done it. I'm going to just put some of that color right on my board here, and I am not wiping my brush off because I don't have a paper towel, so I'm literally just dipping it in water. Um, all right, so I'm going to take my brush, run it through, and I'm going to start putting it on here. And then I'm dipping in the water, spreading it around, and going back in here, throwing more down. I'm kind of randomizing it. Notice I'm not, I'm not doing brush strokes. I'm dabbing. I'm grabbing and dabbing. Yeah, I rhymed. Leaving white space. Why? Clouds, right? That white space can kind of look like a cloud. Don't worry about filling every square millimeter. Of space. I just went metric for some reason. I think, I think in CAD class— so I also teach, I teach architecture and CAD. CAD is computer-aided design, so we're using software to design things like products. And actually, I'll be sharing a product with you this summer that I designed that was fun. Anyway, So you see, I'm kind of dabbing here, grabbing and dabbing. I forget where I was going with the whole CAD thing. I don't even know. I don't even know at this point. There was a point to that story. I'll have to rewatch and find out. Um, I'm layering, so I'm just layering. I'm grabbing, dabbing. So you could take the pen— well, I'm sorry, the marker. I can dab it in some areas. I'll zoom in close so you can see this kind of effect. So it's wet here, I'm just going to dab it. You see it's wet, so it's kind of just spreading out a little bit. All right, there you go. Hey Heather, great to see you. Good evening. Cool number of subscribers too, 777. That's so funny, 777 subscribers. That is, that is pretty awesome actually. Love it, love it. My goal is to get to 1,000 subscribers by the end of this month. Getting close, getting close to the end of the month, so it would be so cool to hit 1,000 before the month is over. Love it, love it. Wow, the blue of that marker is sweet. Yeah, right? See if I can get the glare off a little bit. So that is the Cerulean Blue Winsor Newton watercolor marker. I'm very much about mixed media sketches. Either they're just all either they're just black and white, or if I go mixed media, it's going to have black ink, some kind of color, watercolor, inks, colored pencils. I just— I love using different media on sketches. Look how this dried. I'm, I'm really digging this purpley color up there, right up here. It's pretty sweet, right? And then here's how that rustiness was kind of happening up top right in here. Hopefully you guys can see this. Ta-da! All right guys, I am going to call this one done for the night. I am tired but love sketching, love sketching any time of the day. When I sketch at night, it's really cool, helps my brain to kind of I could do two things. One, it could wire me up, or if I'm really tired, it just helps me clear my mind, get everything kind of out of my system. It's very zen for me, and I'll sleep better. So sketching can help me sleep better. Guys, you're awesome! I appreciate y'all so, so much. Mixed media rocks. Yeah, right? Um, Good night, Karen. Really fun mix of colors. Thank you, Paula Loves Art. I really, really appreciate you guys. Sorry, half of my face is on screen. There's the full face. Um, thank you guys so much for watching. I really appreciate you, your time, your positivity, your energy. Yeah, keep using your creativity for positivity. We definitely could use more positive vibes out there in the world. And, um, remember, if you're interested, I do have that Fishing Shack workshop coming up in July, on July 20th. Feel free to use the link that's on the screen in the bottom left somewhere. I don't know how to point to it. Somewhere there. And then we have the QR code. Thank you guys so much. Take care. Peace. Live creatively. Remember, if you can scribble, you can sketch architecture. See you guys soon.
