Penguin Kisses

Did you know that penguins ‘kiss’ by pecking or rubbing each others beaks, often banging their heads together at the same time? This is called a headbanging kiss.

Staying Connected

Staying Connected - #doodlewashAugust2021 #WorldWatercolorGroup #watercolor #bunny #rabbit

For our prompt of “Rabbit” today, I made a quick little sketch of a couple of bunnies meeting in the grass. I’ve mentioned before that there are lots and lots of rabbits in my neighborhood this season. There are more this year than I ever remember seeing in year’s past. What I didn’t mention is that I squeal like a little kid every time I spot one. As Philippe and I were walking yesterday, we…

News Of The Day

News Of The Day - #doodlewashAugust2021 #WorldWatercolorGroup #watercolor #newspaper

Jumping in this week for our optional prompt of “Newspaper,” with a quick little sketch of a pup reading the latest news. Indeed, today’s headlines can often seem rather grim, but I like to imagine that a dog’s newspaper would always be an enjoyable and optimistic reading experience. When I was a kid, I would often jump to the page with the comics. This was back in the olden days when news…

European Badger

Did you know that a male badger is called a boar, a female is a sow and the babies are cubs? The Welsh call them ‘moch daear’ which means ‘earth pig’. Pixabay reference by Wattsman111.

“BOOT” It was another case of the artist Walter Ego missing the obvious. When he ordered a new pair of boots from his favorite store, the L.L. Green Bean (Outlet), he was so impressed by the ridiculously low price that he missed the ridiculously large size (21 EEE). Sketched quickly with a CROSS Bailey fountain pen with PLATINUM Carbon ink with watercolor applied with CHEEP (brand) and Princeton brushes in a 5.5” x 8.5” IKEA sketchbook. #DOODLEWASH August 2021 Day 18. #Lobstartstudios @tom.brudzinski #dessinateur #artist #dessin #sketch #drawing ##RanDOODLINGdom #croquisrapide #croquis #szkic #crossbaileyfountainpen #platinumcarbonink #doodlewash #doodlewashaugust #doodlewashaugust2021 #doodlewashaugust2021day18 #akwarele #akwarela #worldwatercolorgroup #watercolor #watercolour #goldiethepig #waltetego #ricotherat #foofiethebird #magicalarchipelago #boot (at Magical Archipelago) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSt8gQjLQEQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Catching The Ball

Catching The Ball - #doodlewashAugust2021 #WorldWatercolorGroup #watercolor #beagle #tennis

Hello! I hope everyone is having a beautiful and creative August! I’m popping in for our prompt of “Tennis,” with this little sketch of a beagle about to catch a tennis ball. This was the first thing that came to mind as it’s my only real interaction with tennis balls. I’m not really good at sports of any kind, but did play tennis with a friend in high school long enough to confirm that I’m…

“GOLF” Then there was the time that the artist, Walter Ego, was playing the Par 6 700 yard 21st hole at the Magical Archipelago Country Club and realized that he had forgotten to bring “Woodie” his favorite driver. Reluctantly, his caddie and BFF, Goldie the Pig, was volunteered as a stand-in. The headache lasted for several weeks and worse, the shot veered off wildly and was lost in the rough. Sketched quickly with a CROSS Bailey fountain pen with PLATINUM Carbon ink with watercolor applied with CHEEP (brand) and Princeton brushes in a 9” x 12” BEE PAPER COMPANY Super Deluxe Mixed Media sketchbook. #DOODLEWASH August 2021 Day 6. #Lobstartstudios @tom.brudzinski #dessinateur #artist #dessin #sketch #drawing ##RanDOODLINGdom #croquisrapide #croquis #szkic #crossbaileyfountainpen #platinumcarbonink #doodlewash #doodlewashjuly #doodlewashaugust2021 #doodlewashaugust2021day6 #akwarele #akwarela #worldwatercolorgroup #watercolor #watercolour #goldiethepig #waltetego #ricotherat #golf #magicalarchipelago (at Magical Archipelago) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSOmf2RLae8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Things Invented in Scotland

Things Invented in Scotland

#DoodlewashAugust2021 prompt: Golf. Did you know that both golf and Scottish Terriers were invented in Scotland? Originally Scottish Terriers were red, fawn, grey, and grizzled? Today, Black, Wheaten and Brindle are the accepted colors. Golf balls were originally leather bags filled with goose feathers and painted white. White’s still okay for golf balls, but not Scotties.

“MULTI-USE BOOKSHELF” The experiment of the artist Walter Ego with Tiny House living is coming to an end. Housing the entire Motley Tribe involved non-paper utilization of the bookshelf. The recent arrival of Edie pushed the concept out of the practical category! ! Scrawled quickly with a CROSS Bailey fountain pen with PLATINUM Carbon ink with watercolor applied with CHEEP (brand) and Princeton brushes in a sketchbook. #DOODLEWASH August 2021 Day 5.

“E. le FANT” August always brings surprises for the artist, Walter Ego, and his Motley Tribe. This year, it was Edie, the young pachyderm that someone left on their doorstep. Scribbled quickly with a CROSS Bailey fountain pen with PLATINUM Carbon ink with watercolor applied with CHEEP (brand) and Princeton brushes in a 5.5” x 8.25” IKEA sketchbook. #DOODLEWASH August 2021 Day 1.

Lakeside Foliage

#DoodlewashFebruary2021 prompt: Spiral. I suppose it’s kind of cheating. This painting was done as a demonstration of my Loose & Lovely style, and is entirely from a combination of what the paint wanted to do and my imagination. But I needed something for the ‘spiral’ prompt, and didn’t have much time to think of anything, so – this is a painting of Spiral Lake. Artistic license – gotta love…

Bubbles the Hel Kitty from Beyond the Veil

Bubbles the Hel Kitty from Beyond the Veil

#DoodlewashAugust2021 Prompt: Bubbles. #DoodlewashSeptember2021 Prompts: Kitty & Puppy. Four years ago, I did a weird little drawing that I called Creature from Beyond the Veil. Facebook brought it up as a memory. I always thought the crittur looked a lot like a rather friendly Hel Hound, and so I decided to do a Hel Kitty, too. She doesn’t look quite as friendly! Marker-Zebra…
