I'm Back!

I am back from a wonderful vacation. I did my sketches and surprised myself with sketching people mostly! my fellow passengers on the ship made for great subjects. I still am unpacking and getting organized and need to photograph my sketches. But I wanted to check in today. I hope you are working on a sketch for the 'Tropical' theme!

  2. Hi Karen, welcome back and so glad you had a nice trip. It’s cold here again with a nice crisp frost this morning! I began a series of landscape sketches form both photo reference and memory…ad have been on a roll with the so have stuck with that theme everyday…but have also been working on my tropical theme sketches, but am only up to six right now! I posted my tropical theme sketches in a stand-alone page on my blog accessed under my blog header. I’ve been busy with preparing work for my classes and with my 100 washes blog, so have not put in so much time on the tropical sketches, but will try to do two a day from now on to catch up! It will be interesting to see how my plein aire sketches are when the weather gets wormer and I can sketch outside. Thank you for starting the daily sketching idea, as I really needed a push to get back into daily sketching. I’ve just purchased a few tinted charcoal pencils…and want to try them out…plus some fine line ink pens like Mariela has been using. Can’t wait to see what you sketched on your vacation.
