Missing Sports



Like many of us, I am missing Sports. My favorite hockey team the Philadelphia Flyers were looking great the last few weeks before everything was put to a halt. April without baseball is going to seem surreal!  Anyway, my heart goes out to all us sports fans. We will get through this and life will go on. Perhaps much different than ever before, but it will go on.

If you would like a watercolor of your favorite athlete or have an idea for a commission, please send me an email at mark@weberillustration.com  and yes, I don't care if you are not a Flyers, Phillies or Eagles fan,
I am not a biased kinda guy.  Hell, I have to earn a living!

Enjoy your day.

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

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.

Big Horn

There is something exciting about starting a painting with just a few brush strokes. I was tempted to go back in but I am really trying to practice more restraint lately.  Everything needs to breathe among the chaos which makes perfect sense to me in the current landscape we all reside in. “Big Horn” ink and wash on paper 12x18 .
