I do so love drawing with a continuous line. It is so freeing! It reduces a complex subject into something utterly doable, and low pressure! I must remember to use this technique far, far more often! First was a few kitchen items. I grabbed a box of lemon ginger tea, a lemon, and fresh ginger… Continue reading Continuous Lines

TN Two Ways
My assignment was to draw something on a table in public, using two different types of materials. One in pen only, with spot color, and the other in watercolor pencil. Well, due to the current massive surge in COVID cases in my city, I’m not doing anything in public! However, this TN was on my… Continue reading TN Two Ways

I was too overwhelmed to sketch Montezuma’s Castle while on location, so sketched this from a photograph. Clearly I need more practice,… Continue reading Time Team & Montezuma’s Castle

I must note, I am challenged to finish because… Continue reading Foundations Begins
Foundations & On Location
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… Continue reading Foundations & On Location
