Sunday Sketches


Greetings dear art friends,

this week i cleaned out my ink pen
got the ink flowing
and challenged myself to sketch


 this means
no pencil
no erasing
living with each and every line
living with what is



I enjoyed imagining
each line on the paper
before I ever let the pen begin


Sunday Night begins the 
I would love it if you would visit my post, by clicking on this link: OWOH

(and to see my latest piece of art ;-} )

Please join us at Sophia's Sunday Sketches
to share your art
and/or to enjoy the art of my artist friends!

  1. Very fun sketches. These sketches are the true meaning of sketches. To me sketches are suppose to be ideas from your mind that are not refined just ideas. You can come up with some amazing work by just grabbing a pen and sketching.

  4. You know, I've not ever attempted to sketch with pen and allow what comes....to be. Hmm. Maybe I should challange myself sometime over the next few weeks to try it. If you can do, I CAN! :)

    Happy SS!!

  6. Oh brave brave you are! These are fun! I have tried this a couple of times and always end up so frustrated that I can't take something I don't like back!:-) I Look forward to sharing many more Sunday's with you my friend. It has been so much fun to watch as our art evolves and especially wonderful at your place is your poetry that goes along with each piece.
    Hugs and wishing you a wonderful Sunday!

  7. What a great variety of sketches!

    With a pen...... yikes! You are brave indeed! Maybe one Sunday we should all try pen only drawing! Hmmm I guess that's what I do with my zen doodling but for a figure?? You did so well!

  8. I love the fear that goes with sketching in pen! it is a soft but exciting fear not a big scary feeling, but a challenge! One line drawings in pen are great too! You are brave!

  9. Isn't it great to just let go and draw - watching figures and scenes unfold before you. Fab stuff!

  11. Ink drawings are so hard and do take a lot of guts, I like how you experimented a lot with these and they turned out to be beautiful! I will be checking your OWOH :D

  12. I like the idea of sketching and no erasing...scary, though. Good work.

  13. Such great line quality... I think drawing with a pen can be scary, thrilling, liberating all at the same time!

  16. Great sketches... don't know that I could go the distance for ink without pencil first. Most of my lines are left as first made, but...
