Inktober Sketches

I didn't keep up with the hope of doing one ink sketch a day for the month of October but I did manage a few.  Here are a few of my favorites.  The first is of my husband drawn from a picture I took at the light art installation at Olbrict gardens.  The second is a little witch drawn from my imagination.

 

Father Daughter Dance

This picture I took before the father daughter school dance is just one of my favorites!  The first picture is a coffee shop sketch.  The second is an experiment with a water color canvas I found at Michaels.  (I'd never heard of stretched canvas for watercolor before.)  I got out my gouache set and gave it a go.  It turned out ok.  I'm interested to see how it holds up over time.  :)  It made a nice Father's Day gift. :)

Karen and Ted

I painted this engagement picture for friends of ours.  The picture was taken in Brazil when they were there visiting her family.  It was given to them as a wedding gift.
