Hearts - Love Me Tender

size: 4.5"w x 6"h
On Canson Mixed Media paper created the words with a Zig Writer in a funky lettering style then added the hatching using a red Juice Up pen. Added the hearts with a gold Uniball Signo pen and added graphite shading. Text with a black Juice Up pen.

Doodled Stars - Vincent van Gogh

Size: 8.5"sq
On Canson Mixed Media paper using a star template and fine tip Sharpie pen drew out the stars. Painted the background with Holbien "Peacock Blue". Doodled in the stars, then colored some of them with metallic Gelly Roll pens. (That white spot on my colored star is a dust spot on my scanner...ugh). Added a coating of Glossy Accents on the colored star.

Text written with a Zebra nib and Holbien black gouache.

words: for my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream. Vincent van Gogh
