July 1 - Oyster. $50 9x12 pen and ink on yupo paper. It is my birthday month. And, for my birthday I am seeking inspiration and a rebirth of my art. To switch things up a bit, I’ve decided to sketch outside my sketchbook for the month of July and offer them up for sale. I was inspired by @sgclarkart and his daily postings this past month. Thanks Sean! I finally cleaned my oyster shells and my July 1 sketch is one of these shells painted in pen and ink and watercolor (what I use in my sketchbook) but, is painted on yupo paper. My first attempt on yupo. It was different. It was fun. And, I was pleasantly surprised at unexpected marks. Let’s see where this takes me!
