Any paint may be used, it is a simple palette. I use Jo Sonja Matte Flow Acrylic by Chroma, but any acrylic or watercolor will work. This was done in a sketch book with paper to withstand water.

Colors used: Arylide Yellow (light), Yellow Orange, Pine Green (med green), Pthalo Blue, Brown Earth (med brown), Diox Purple, Carbon Black. Blue Violet is optional for the blue.

I have been doing these free one hour videos since June, 2020, so I have a lot! Let me know if you would like to join in on the Monday zoom sessions.

We all have the ability to draw. Yes, some are better than others but that is due to experience. Everyone NEEDS a creative outlet. That outlet can be drawing, painting, inventing recipes, writing, crafting; just anything creative. Get into your right brain and you will find respite, healing and an improved view of your life! Let’s go!

This is a very very simple sketch and paint, use any water base paints, or even colored pencils! Follow along as we begin and finish.

Just grab a pencil, eraser, a large brush (for background) and medium size #6 or #8 flat or filbert or anything similar. Hopefully you have a sketchbook and/or paper with at that is heavy enough to work on with water. Multi media pads are pretty inexpensive, but you could even use card stock or poster board. Don’t let lack of supplies slow you down, use what you have. Part of this video shows the use of a dip pen for outlining. It is optional, you can use your liner brush, but you will find it interesting if you haven’t done it. And here we go!

Welcome to simple Sketch and Paint creations. Very few supplies are needed, pencil, eraser, paper, water base paint, a few brushes. Start with what you have.

I firmly believe that the world needs more simple outlets for creativity. These posts have a one hour video to sketch and finish painting. You probably have one hour, and you will feel so much better for the effort. Give it a try. There is healing and rest in the right side of the brain. Truly!

I have been at this for a very long time, decades even. I’ve watched how my bailiwick (teaching painting) has helped people and how they benefit from it.

If you can benefit from a little rest and creativity, please subscribe. New videos will be added about every two weeks. Most of these videos are from zoom classes I have taught, there is a small fee to use them. Please correspond if you have questions.
