Art Stuff 94– Pen & Ink: Lines and Dots!
This three minute Art Stuff video takes a look at working with Pen & Ink to create linework and dots in an art design. Part one: The paper used for inkwork and the Micro pens used for linework.
Examples of artwork using lots of dots and very little watercolor.

Next Ep. Part 2, The pen I use to make dots and the current pen & ink drawings being worked on with dots. Lots of dots.
These pen & ink drawings, when finished are destined for the November 2nd, 2023, Solo Art Exhibit at Katsea Gallery.
What’s on my mind, Craig?
Well, for the Nov. art show at katsea gallery, one of the projects being worked on for display are 24 Thumbnail sketches.
First I must do the dot work before adding watercolor or color pencil or combinations of each.
This is one of the 24 prepped for adding color.
Size of outlined box is 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 inches.

The Tale of the Lost Cap!
It’s been a rough couple of weeks. I misplaced my favorite hat and with it three unable-to-replace enamel pins that adorned one side. I searched everywhere, backtracked to places I had been in hopes of rejoining hat to head. Yet all for naught.
Finally yesterday I resolved myself to the fact that it was gone and other hats I had, minus the pins, needed to rise up to fill this void. Yes, with head hung low and wiping away a tear, I gave up!
With that I left for a planned visit to see my new granddaughter and bring dinner to the mom & dad, Terresa and Jesse. Entering the house I stopped dead in my tracks and mouth dropped open, wide enough a kitten could have jumped in for a nap!
There on Waverly’s head was my hat, she had found it and was now wearing it. Pointing to the cap as to ask, is this yours?
With faked reluctance (and a silly smirk) she returned it.
I asked if she wanted some shrimp toast as a reward, she respectfully declined. She decided the look on my face at seeing the hat was reward enough.
What a treat, what joy, such a great kid!
Katsea Gallery will host an opening for a group art exhibit next Thursday, June 1. Included with the 14 artists on display is little old me. This is the promo for this upcoming event. Join us for an evening of art, artists and merriment!
