The Artistic Biker is me, Jonathan "Blade" Manning. A treasure troll of a man, with hobbit feet and a sharp pointy head. You may see me traveling up and down the highways of Oklahoma looking for the next place to sketch, paint, sing, dance, write, photograph or simply meditate. I have begun a journey that once set upon, there is no turning back.
Enjoy seeing your work! Your journals and videos are inspirational. And never thought of painting outside in the cold weather, just did winter photos.
Thank you, Mary! I saw this technique and just HAD to try it. There’s another that involves dusting your journal with watercolor powder and letting it get “sprinkled” on. I can’t wait to try that one.
