@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Wishing all my Bluesky friends a serene and blesséd Christmas. 370
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 10/12/2024My series of watercolor winter scenes is in full swing. Love my studio but it’s missing one thing...a studio cat. 050
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Playing in the studio again today. Fire going and a fresh pot of coffee. My favorite kind of day. 140
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 09/12/2024First sketches for a larger watercolor painting. Small boy, barn and some chickens. Old Altoids mint tin with a few colors plus a water brush. 051
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 07/12/2024Sketched from a closed car window and very cold outside. On the way to Stowe, Vermont. A quick sketch, a few research pix and I’m ready to start a new Watercolor painting. 060
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 05/12/2024 @Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social I have been asked to post samples of my watercolor work. Here is a sampling. 030
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Starting a new watercolor painting today. Here is my rough sketch, hopefully working out all the possible errors in advance. This sketch sets the mood, composition and palette to be used. 040
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 02/12/2024A thought for today’s watercolor painting. Perhaps a few deer prints in the forefront. 160
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 30/11/2024A few trees out back. Quick sketches using an old Altoid tin fitted with White Nights watercolor blocks. A water brush is needed for alfresco. 050
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 25/11/2024I always have some watercolors with me and a water pen. Safari jacket with lots of pockets a must. 0134
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 25/11/2024I remember sitting for a few hours sketching Tower Bridge in London, with a thermos of black coffee and a good cigar. Just a few seagulls for company. 1101
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Here’s an old tree out back in the woods here in Connecticut. Such character. 092
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 22/11/2024I’m starting a new watercolor painting. Here is my small prelim sketch in my daily sketchbook to work out the details. Quite a few mistakes here, which I will correct in the final larger painting. Adding either couple or kids making a snowman. 1462
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Here’s the Lisbon Arch using just squiggles and scratches, no actual details. A fun way of sketching...what I feel as opposed to what I see. 141
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 19/11/2024My favorite season is fast approaching. Love snow. 0102
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Also, My old skiing grounds, Stowe Vermont and Mt. Mansfield are getting snow. Time to tune my skis. 160
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 18/11/2024One of life’s great pleasures is taking a long walk in the woods after a snowfall. This communion with nature is an act of meditation. 031
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Here are some people in my daily sketchbook. Tan color is black coffee on my thumb. Drawing is the mother of all art. I try to dray from life every day. It’s my passion. 030
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 15/11/2024A friend asked for a watercolor of a Vermont winter scene. This is a little farm outside Stowe, Vermont, my favorite skiing destination. 010
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Finalizing my 2024 Christmas card. A few more details and I’m set to print. 031
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 18/10/2024@mahlanah.bsky.social I am a watercolorist in Connecticut. Joined BlueSky this morning and find it refreshing. 060
@Bob181.bsky.social @bob181.bsky.social · 18/10/2024Hello all. I am new here. I am a designer and watercolorist in Connecticut. I am also a Korean conflict veteran and a recent widower. I welcome seeing friends here. I plan on leaving Twitter shortly because of the negativity and porn. Please, no porn here, just positive vibes. 080
