Grandma Ruthe J.

Ruthe J.

Still playing with pencils! This is Grandma Ruthe J., an artist in her day, she went to art school with Walt Disney in Kansas City and worked as a commercial artist her whole life. I used a black and white photo from the 50s as a reference for this wet-in-wet (wet paper, wet pencil) payne's gray Inktense pencil sketch. I didn't want to use a brush, but did some mopping and smudging with a paper towel.

  1. Your "playing" is quite lovely. I also like the drawings of the bottle in the previous post! nancy
