This is the view from my chair. roomdood

Experimenting with Bee paper with sktchy app inspirations. This is my 2nd watercolor on the paper, but it didn\'t seem to lift very well, could be because it was so dark? darkdoodle

Today I tried Bee paper for the first time. I love it so far! This is a sktchy app face, and she has dark brown hair, but I put the highlights in and love it like this! Hope she does. beepaper

Finally, one I like on the cheap paper! 🙂 sideviewdoo

Simple ink drawing with watercolor from the sktchy app. I was just going to let it trail off on the right side, but then added trees...so it looks funky now. 🙂 housedood

It was bound to happen... charlie

This young man is a programmer for the app sktchy. He said he draws with code. I\'m so happy he does! coderdoodle

This is another of the sktchy images. It was a really close up of a cute red headed boy. It\'s amazing how things look generally ok, until you post. Then all the flaws appear. 🙂 redhead

I took this reference photo of Yosemite Valley in the 1980s. My dilemma is...when I took the photo I was careful to step into the water so I could get the photo framed by overhanging limbs and leaves...I\'m afraid to put the limbs and leaves in for fear of messing it up! I think it would add to the painting...what do you think? yosemitevalley

Thanks Rod for posting about the Strathmore Free Workshops. I took the Realistic Watercolor for Beginners and...a portrait! I tried Kelly Eddington\'s technique of putting a wash over the entire paper first and then proceed. I like the result, and will try it again, but on Arches. This is one of my sktchy app portraits, so I usually don\'t use the best paper. guydoodle

Found this cute face at the Saturday soccer game. Mom said ok, so I snapped the reference photo. I\'ll give her the painting, hope she likes it. kiddoodle

This guy asked me to draw him (on sktchy app) but it was more fun painting him. His skin was like ivory. samdoodle

I painted this quickly this morning, and probably wouldn\'t have uploaded it here, but you are all so supportive I wanted to share my fun news about the painting. The app sktchy is for artists from around the world to share their art from photos on the site. When you submit your art, and swipe to the right...the original photo is beneath. This was a black/white photo I wanted to be monochromatic. Lots of eye makeup on the photo, and seemed fun to do. Anyway, it got \"sktchy picked\" this morning. Just means its one of their favorites. Thanks for letting me share with such a wonderful community here! bluegal

I\'m trying to branch out from portraits, but you can see how far I\'ve gotten. 🙂 longhornkid

Just for fun! doodlewas

Saw the photo on Instagram, and had to try it. doodledog

It was nice to be back in Yellowstone National Park. Last visit was right before the big fire in 1988. Amazing to see the new growth of trees next to the burned ones. This is the approach to Old Faithful Geyser. yellowstone

Another lesson learned...take off the masked areas prior to photo. gal

Found this image on Pinterest and contacted the photographer (darrenmoorephotography.co.uk) and asked permission to use. Had some issues, but... oldboat
