The April Demo—Thinking About Pattern and Texture in the Design of a Painting
This month on Patreon I do a graphite and watercolor portrait. I use this portrait to begin a discussion on thinking about how the texture of brush strokes and the use of pattern and other textures in a painting impact the readability of that painting. The discussion will continued in May when I look at […]
February 2021’s Painting Demo On Patreon
Patreon-RozInterim is my subscription blog where I do drawing and painting demos. For February 2021 I did this portrait shown in this post. I’m excited about it because I love painting with glazes of color, and this sketch gave me the opportunity to demonstrate this to subscribers. Another thing I enjoy about having the Patreon […]
Working with Analogous Colors
Late at night, relaxing and watching British comedy shows I simply have to sketch. This sketch from December 2019 is an analogous color sketch of Johnny Vegas when guesting on “QI.” Everyone needs to watch “QI.” It’s vastly fun, entertaining, and sometimes you even learn something. (Stephen Fry hosted for a number of seasons and […]
A Project on Projects: Do It Anyway December
A couple weeks ago I asked the Tier 3 subscribers on my Patreon Blog what they wanted to talk about in the upcoming webinar. Their responses surprised me: project generation and color theory. OK the color theory questions weren’t surprising, but the project questions were. I sat down and started thinking what to do, […]
Monochromatic Exaggeration (Only a Little)

If you would like to see me create this pen and watercolor sketch on illustration board please subscribe to my Patreon Blog Roz Interim. This one hour and 45 minute real-time video is available to Tier 3 subscribers as a bonus video this month. […]
Wrapping Up Teaching…What Does That Mean?

A Short Video about My Favorite Brush Pens
I love using the Pentel brush pens with the squeezy bodies, and of course the Pentel Pocket Brush pen. You can read more about them and see them in some different packaging in this linked blog post. Today I’m posting short video I made for my Patreon—RozInterim subscribers. (The video appears at the base of […]
Working with Ink Washes on Toned Paper
Over the last couple weeks the students in my on line class drawing practice class have been working with values—learning to see value shapes, to judge and compare one value to another. Understanding values, the relative lightness and darkness from one area of a subject to another, and the ability to translate those values to […]
Cupcakes—Thoughts and an Upcoming Demo
There’s a bakery in the same building as my eye doctor’s downtown office. I made a lot of trips to his office last year. Dick drove me. Then on the walk down from the eye doctor’s office to the parking ramp I often suggested a stop at the bakery to buy some “life-drawing” models. Don’t […]
Want To See How Roz Sketches and Paints?
Last December I started a Patreon-Roz Interim subscription blog where I place real time videos of my sketching demonstrations. This is the sketch that I showed in March of this year. It uses pen and watercolor in an Arteza Watercolor Book. (I’ve reviewed these journals elsewhere on this blog, please use the category list to […]
