Rusty Milk Cans

12x9 alcohol based markers by Caliart on Masters Touch marker 46 lb paper over Fude Tombow brush pen sketch, done over the past weekend. For another WetCanvas challenge these milk cans have been painted before in watercolor by me. Lots of nostalgia in the photo ref on the WetCanvas site. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith

Butterfly Buffet

8.5x5.5 watercolor and ink done awhile ago with Micron 01 pen on Masters Touch 80 lb paper in sketchbook. More of my new pink coneflowers for butterflies to enjoy. This is painted wet on dry. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith

Pear Abstraction

12x9 acrylics on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done last week or so. I took a pear painting then put in Photoshop under Artistic and cut out filters. This effect simplifies and consolidates detail, shapes and values in a useful way. Using the process can help those who have trouble "seeing" to begin looking beyond the ordinary.

Painted Indian Pony

22x30 acrylics over older abstract that is now reworked and is more pleasing to me. In this imaginary native American decorated war horse I've let the design speak for itself. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith

6x6 watercolor in Masters Touch sketchbook 80 lb paper done last week using the square grid as background pattern for the grasshopper insect. Ref courtesy WetCanvas ref image library. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith

Fluffy Cat with Orange Markings

8x6 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper by Masters Touch, a cat pet portrait done earlier in the week. I only had a black and white photo of this unknown kitty so had to imagine its markings. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith

Daisy Bee

6x6 watercolor and ink line in Masters Touch sketchbook 80 lb paper done last week for an online challenge featuring insects on flowers or plants. I chose the bee exploring a daisy and used STA Lictin 0.2 pen to draw it. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith
