“PORTLAND HEAD LIGHT” This week’s “Throwback Thursday” is a watercolor study I did awhile ago of an iconic Portland lighthouse. More than that though, it’s a tribute to the memory of a close friend and relative on the anniversary of his passing. This lighthouse has become associated with his memory in the minds and hearts of his family. #LobstArtstudios @tom.Brudzinski #art #dessinateur artist #szkicownik #zeichner #dessin #sketch #drawing #quick-sketch #croquisrapide #croquis #szkic #szkicownik #throwbackthursday #portlandheadlight #portlandmaine #lighthouses #lghthousesofmaine #watercolor #watercolour #aquarelle #akwarele #alwarela #inmemory
“WINDOW ON THE (ART) WORLD” A quick stop at a favorite new caffeination station, Flatiron Coffee in the historic Hay Building in the heart of the Arts District in Portland Maine. I sketched the collection of arty pieces sitting on the silky window in front of me that looks out at the Portland Museum of Art. Sketched quickly with a TEMU “Vintage” fountain pen with MONTEVERDRE “Joy Sepia” ink in a 9” x 12” sketchbook. #LobstArtstudios @tom.brudzinski #art #dessinateur #artist #zeichner #dessin #sketch #drawing #quicksketch #RanDOODLINGdom #croquisrapide #croquis #szkic #szkicownik #midcoastsketchers #mainerswithinkyfingers #southernmainesketchers #temufountainpen #monteverdreink #monteverdrejoysepiaink #coffeeshop #flatironcoffee #flatironcoffeebar #haybuilding #portlandmaine #coffeeshopsofinstagram #portlandmaineartsdistrict

“UP THE HEARTS!” Needing something for today’s drawing and inspired by last night’s terrific soccer match in which the Portland Hearts of Pine soccer team defeated the FC Naples (FL) squad, I quickly sketched a number of Hearts’ players from action photos. Implement used was a MONT BLANC “Meisters tuck” fountain pen with PLATINUM Carbon ink and a “Goldenrod” PRISMACOLOR pencil in a 9” x 12” sketchbook. . #Lobstartstudios @tom.brudzinski #art #dessinateur #artist #zeichner #dessin #sketch #drawing #quicksketch #RanDOODLINGdom #croquisrapide #croquis #szkic #szkicownik #usk #urbansketchers #urbansketching #urbansketch #midcoastsketchers #mainerswithinkyfingers #southernmainesketchers #montblanc #montblancmeisterstück #heartsofpine #heartsofpinesoccer #heartsofpinefc #portlandme #portlandmaine #upthehearts

New Goth Night in Portland, Maine at Geno's Rock Club! Quite the history behind the building (more about that soon). New owner did some redecorating -- which included skeletons, a Baphomet, projected spiders, and art that included Bowie and Aleister Crowley. I felt so at home!!! 🐐 🕸️

“FLATIRON COFFEE + ART”. On Sunday morning, I was in Portland and needed a place and a subject to sketch. I stopped in at the spanking new Flatiron Coffee shop in the Hay Bldg. by the Portland Museum of Art. The seating arrangement was not conducive to the people sketching that I had hoped for. However, the cappuccino was great, and I was able to sketch a piece of art perched in the window in front of me. Glad I stopped by! The combination of coffee products, and art is quite admirable. Drawn with a MONT BLANC Meisterstück fountain pen with PLATINUM Carbon ink in a 5” x 6” sketchbook. #LobstArtstudios @tom.brudzinski#art #dessinateur #artist #zeichner #dessin #sketch #drawing #quicksketch #RanDOODLINGdom #croquisrapide #croquis #szkic #szkicownik #midcoastsketchers #mainerswithinkyfingers #southernmainesketchers #montblanc #monblancmeisterstück #coffeeshop #flatironcoffee #haybuilding #portlandmaine
