Vintage Waiting Room Sketch
I was surprised to see this waiting room sketch from 10 years ago. I frequent waiting rooms to this day and I still sketch what I see.

Undated Portrait of My Brother
I was hoping to get some insight about portrait painting. I recalled that Picasso and Portraiture was chock full of interesting articles. When I opened it up, one of my old sketches fell out. This is a portrait of my older brother Mike. Mike is low functioning and autistic and nonverbal and now resides in […]
Sketch of Giant Clouds Dwarfing the Landscape
I thought I could do justice to the photo I took the other day (Giant Clouds Dwarfing the Landscape) with a pencil sketch. The middle ground of the sketch came out the best. I captured the contrast between the white fluffy clouds in front of the gray face of the huge cloud. The gray clouds […]
Museum Patrons at Lunch
I went to an art museum today. I haven’t been to an inspiring place like that for a very long time. I saw works of Van Gogh (oh, the texture!), Jawlensky, Klee, Rubens, Rembrandt and many others. I loved some of the compositions on paper by Degas: colored paper with lighter lines of pastes, were […]
Man with Hair Parted Down the Middle Eating and Working His Phone
This is a better color experiment than yesterday’s. I also made use of the trough between the two sketchbook pages. I made it correspond with the part of the gentleman’s hair.

I am getting ready to add color to my sketches. The other day I added watercolor to my sketch of the backyard. Aside from the resulting water-curled pages, the experiment was successful. After I sketched the man at the table (see below), I used Copic markers to add color. I read that Copic markers are […]
Tutor and Child
This is one of the first portrait-formatted, double-paged notebook sketches I drew in my 5×8 Moleskin journal. Physically, it is a very much different experience than drawing in the landscape orientation. The division between pages in the landscape format impedes the left-right (right-left) stroke, which is easier for me to handle than the interrupted up-down […]
Back Yard Sketch, Colored
I added watercolor to this pencil sketch. I’m working toward changing the emphasis of my sketching from the past year’s meditation on waiting. I would like to fill my next sketch book with colorful pen and ink and pencil drawings. To this end, I am looking for a better sketch book. Water applied to the […]
Waiting Amongst the Halloween Decorations
Some organizations spruce up their waiting rooms during the holiday season. Halloween is an under appreciated holiday in that regard.
Young Woman with her Hair Messed Up Waiting for Her Car
This young lady’s hair was hanging over her face. I imagine this was very comfortable, since she seemed relaxed in her preoccupation. Waiting is better when one is relaxed.
