Things In Our Yard / Journaling

Image
Day 6 Everyone has a different way of passing the time during these days of social distancing, quarantine and self exile. They are all good solid choices, from binge watching to finally reading that book that's been sitting on your bed stand for the past year to categorizing that cd collection you never even listen to anymore. However, if you are searching for a fun and relaxing way to fill your time I recommend starting a journal. You can draw, cut and paste photos, even sew. The possibilities are endless really. This is a piece I started yesterday afternoon and finished up this morning. Just a few things in our yard that I randomly sketched in pencil then inked and added watercolor. Shown here is the original along with a pic showing what it might look like if framed which I did in photoshop. Thanks again for checking in and please share. Have a great day and be safe.

Lazy Day

Image
It's Sunday and yes, I am feeling lazy. Besides doing the things that must be done such as dishes, walking the dog, brushing my teeth etc., etc., I don't seem to have a ton of ambition today. That being said, I grabbed a magazine and browsed through it looking for something to sketch. There was not a lot to choose from but I felt I had to do something to warrant me lifting my butt off my chair from in front of my laptop and into the studio. These were sketched out in pencil first then painted in watercolor and gouache.  I added shades and a man bun to the saxophone player and the figure to the left has a bit of a bend due to me not flattening out the paper before I photographed it. Not the most imaginative of efforts but at least I did something today. I just hope I can share something a bit more intriguing tomorrow.  Well, I think I'm ready for a nap now.

Coronavirus Quarantine Sketchbook #1

Image
Hello!  I will be posting drawings and watercolors during this time of self exile. The subject matter will be random despite the title of the blog.  I don't want to give the impression that this will be some political based or daily op-ed sketchbook depicting scenes of doom and gloom. This will be an escape.  This first piece was done in pencil, ink and watercolor on 90 lb. multi-media paper and is titled 'Man Selling Fish' . Yes, I am known for my imaginative titles. Sorry, is what it is. Most of the work I will be posting is for sale. If interested in purchasing please email me at mark@weberillustration.com  and write Blog Art in the subject line. Thanks for visiting and please share. Mark Weber 3/17/20
