Art, coffee, life.

Most of my art and writing happens offline, but the online queer artist community sustains me.

Planning to return to writing at http://moirarts.com in the coming year.

I tried to use a blue palette for my watercolor practice today, and it really didn't work for me. I often sketch with blue pencils, so I was surprised at how much I felt like I was rendering a drowning victim (sorry @bmanuel.bsky.social). Sticking with my favorite yellow-orange palette for now!
Quick light blue pencil sketch of a semi-reclining man. Drawing looks normal if sloppy. Abandoned attempt at a blue watercolor drawing of a reclining man. He is starting to look like a cross between Laura Palmer and Mr Freeze.

Wrestled the color pastels into submission with a little colored pencil on top. Model is @bmanuel.bsky.social for @doableguys.bsky.social, holding his new book Hello Stranger. #figuredrawing #malenude #watercolor #sketchbook
Color mixed media drawing of a man sitting on a couch reading a book. Headless, because I ran out of time. Model is Manuel Betancourt and it's also his book, Hello Stranger.

Morning light and shadows on my grandfather's easel.
An old painting easel in front of a bare window, with light coming in from a different window casting stark lines of shadow across the room.

Practicing my color blocking by going back over old (extremely) rough pencil sketches. This one had its first incarnation as a warm up pose with model @jesse.t.h and @doableguys.bsky.social

I'm lowkey obsessed with these Caran d'Ache watercolor pastels.
A weirdly proportioned color sketch of a standing nude man. His arms would be raised over his head if he had arms or a head.

Looking forward to seeing my door in all the seasons. I love looking out the kitchen window to this pop of color.
Backyard covered in snow, with shadows from the bare trees across the ground. At the back is a brick garage with a bright blue door. Brick garage with bright blue door. Seen at a closer view, through a screen of Redbud leaves that have turned yellow and brown in autumn.

Goodbye, IG. Hello, Bluesky artists.
A sketchbook on my desk, showing watercolor pastel drawing of a seated nude man, from an online drawing session.
