Horse Sketch in Ink

8.5x5.5 ink using black Tombow brush pen on Master's Touch 80 lb paper in sketchbook done last week or so ago. I like using the brush pen as you can add water to it and get instant results that mimic watercolor. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith

Old Cowboy

14x11 mixed media on mixed media pad using India ink, brush pen, Micron 01, white Posca pen and charcoal done earlier in the month of no one in particular; just coming off the 30 faces in 30 days challenge was the inspiration. Including eyeglasses in your portraits was one of the #sktchy features this time. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith

#InkTober Day 7 ~Cuddlers Cats

5.5x8.5 watercolor and ink using black Tombow brush pen on Bienfang for mixed media sketchbook done for day 7 of the popular #InkTober challenge.  With this work in progress now finished of Jess Shippee's two cats cuddling in bed, I've added watercolor to the former white paper areas left blank.  The black is actual Tombow pen with only a small amount of water on my script liner/rigger #1 brush.  The calico does not look happy, almost as if she wants the grey kitty to move on out.

Star Attraction - Day 18

5.5x8 ink on Strathmore Visual Journal for mixed media paper done today, #18 of daily works.  This white cat has a dark grey on the top of her head and Star belongs to my friend Barbara.  I used Tombow black brush pen and water only, so no predrawing for this value painting.

Also since 9-1-15, I've posted daily works on Leslie Saeta's #30paintingsin30days challenge she hosts annually on her blog Slices of Life you can see HERE.
