April Alligator in Junk Journal

5.25x8.25 black ink over gessoed page in my old discarded book that morphed or turned into a sketchbook done in April that I've not yet posted.  They are not my favorite wildlife to do in art.  A Tombow brush pen was used along with water.

Saw-whet Owl

12x9 watermedia on Bristol 300 series paper done today using two different media in my ongoing bird series in various art products.  For this, I used a black Tombow brush pen and only put in black areas first, from one of my bird photos, doing negative painting.  After those, I used a #14 round and with fresh water, created the grey midtones leaving whites.  While most areas still wet I sprinkled black Brusho crystals then blended some areas with a wet brush, being careful not to over blend or over mix.  Look closely and you can see the orange and blue within the Brusho.  No pencil pre-drawing done in this vignette.

Some Curious Cows

5.5x8.5 ink on Bienfang for mixed media sketchbook done a few days ago as part of a WetCanvas challenge in Animals forum.  With Tombow brush pen I first put in darkest darks then added water with a script liner brush to create greys; white is the white of the paper as you do in watercolor.
