I guess it qualifies more as a painting than a sketch. From a photo looking over to the neighbors house in NC, winter time.

Got some expensive colored pencils and decided to hit a quick sketch.

First bird attempt, a little overworked with the gel pen, and I always seem to make these type of depictions look cartoonish.

Experimenting with painting a feeling instead of a scene.

I love Bloody Marys so much I painted this so that I would never be without 🫒

This one is just a bunch of dots alcohol markers for color over a loose pencil outline.

Not my usual style, but I thought it turned out okay and decided to frame it.

Bayshore Blvd, Tampa. Next time I’ll clean up the light post and add some cars

Is this community for paintings only?

Alcohol marker on Bristol paper, just using little dots. I may need to darken up some areas. Any specific tips to finish this one? Or should I just put it down for a while?

I like to practice controlling value by using only two shades, anyone have any other methods that work? Always looking for new techniques…

I’m an amateur but would like to get a feel for what appeals to other artists.

This is not in my wheelhouse. Sometimes if I mess up I like to send a painting into chaos and make the ugliest thing I can. Anyone else like this approach?

I abandoned a landscape watercolor, but decided to cut out and save a section of the sky. Then I drew some mountains (just for shiggles) with fine liner, alcohol markers, and white gel pen.

Please be brutally honest, I’m a beginner and need some feedback.
