Sold! 🙂 This was a remaining painting from the Japan exchange, where I drew local wooden houses (called Machiya) in Kyoto. I have fond memories of staying there in the cute neighborhood - and the family from this home providing me with little snacks and encouragement on my long drawing days. Hope to go to Kyoto again to paint. Thanks so much to the buyer! . . . . #machiya #Kyoto #町家 #京町家 #JapanAdventure #traditionalarchitecture #traditionalart #oil #oilpainting #oilcolors #paintingforsale #oilpaintingforsale #oilpaintings #oil #oilpaint #oilcolor #thomasschmall #locationdrawing #cityscape #ivy #architecture #京都市 
Last of the "expressive lines" figure drawing experiments. We had a Hamlet inspired scene set up - and the model played the role really well. . . . . #inkdrawing #figuredrawing #lifedrawing #fountainpenart #fountainpendrawing #blackandwhiteart #Hamlet #shakespeare #tobeornottobe #pendrawing #instaartwork #ペン画 #tusche #penandink #penandinkdrawing #thomasschmall #oxpal 
Throwback to an Art exchange in #Kyoto in 2012. When walking through an old district, I discovered this cool little bonsai shop, and decided to paint it. I've met the owner, and was able to take a look inside, but communication was difficult. Hope the shop is still there. I'm now selling the original on the shop on my website. . . . . #bonsaiworld #bonsaishop #machiya #町家 #京町家 #artforsale #JapanAdventure #oil #oilpainting 
Second of the figure drawings, where the model went for a Roman Senatorial look. Here I played a bit with the line directions, to make the scene more dynamic. . . . . #inkdrawing #figuredrawing #fountainpenart #drawing #pendrawing #blackandwhiteart 
I'm experimenting with different ways to mix colors and black ink. A piece started in Paris (just before Covid) will get some more drawing and coloring steps. This work-in-progress with some comments is exclusive on #patreon for my supporters. . . . . #mixed-media #paris #urbansketchers #patreoncreator #WIP #WipArt #parisfrance 
The garden sketching continues. Here's a pear tree, that I've drawn with pencils in front of my place. Also, I now have a shop on Instagram, and I've added this drawing and one or two more. Sold the recent tree painting - very happy about that :) . . . . #treedrawing #artforsale #bleistiftzeichnung #graphite #graphitedrawing #pencildrawing
