Wanting to improve my general drawing ability, I started Liz Steel’s Foundations Class. I continued on with the Stillman & Birn Beta sketchbook that I had started with her Watercolor class.


Later that year, I started Liz Steel’s Watercolor On Location class.

My kit for that class.

This was the first time I actually sketched out on location. It was also my first paint only sketch. I found I really loved the technique. I also felt wild and crazy just using two colors, and they were NOT the colors of the actual building! Mind blown!





Here ends Sketchbook 1B, with a sketch of my palette as it was by then.
