vol 003 – Jamie's Sketchbook

Sketchbook 2 Complete

Watercolor Class, Buildings Class, and a few other sketches are in this little 3.5 x 5.5 inch Stillman & Birn Beta, softcover sketchbook. What a journey it has been! I learned so much!

Buildings

I started Buildings by Liz Steel. These first lessons were done in the 3.5 x 5.5 Stillman & Birn Beta.

What an improvement in my sketching ability! It’s amazing!

Classwork & More

Continuing in my Sketchbook 2 tour, I have some classwork from both Foundations, as well as Watercolor on Location.

This was a failed effort to paint a landscape while out on location. I realized that I still have much to learn, since I had no idea how to fix the issues I had.

This wine bottle and glass sketch is one of my favorite ever sketches!

I ran across a number of six color palettes that Daniel Smith was building with various artists. I since I already had many of the colors, I set out to document the various collections in order to try them at some point, since I was having such fun with the Direct Watercolor Palette. (Sketchbook v2, Stillman & Birn Beta, 3.5 x 5.5 in.)

Sketchbook 2 – Watercolor

When I started Liz Steel’s Watercolor course, I started this sketchbook. This one is a Stillman & Birn Beta 3.5 x 5.5 inch (8.9 x 14.0 cm) Softcover.

I wanted to do the lessons with two different palettes. I had purchased Marc Taro Holmes Direct Watercolor Palette, but I had never used it. I figured using two different palettes would really teach me about color. It did! So I did the same exercises twice, and in this sketchbook, volume 2, I did the Watercolor assignments using this palette.

Of course I put the palette on the first page!

Watercolor 2018

My coursework for Sketching Now Watercolor in 2018. I used two different palettes. I had this palette designed by Marc Taro Holmes, and I also used the class palette recommended by Liz Steel. I learned a lot in this class.
