Thank you Don,
I am years behind in art work! Just trying to make time for it now.
Even if its just 10-20 minutes per day, it can make a huge difference.
That's what is great about drawing: it doesn't require set up time and clean up time
as much as paints. And you can take it with you. I put together a small
pencil case with a general purpose pencil, palm size sketch pad and a black ink pen
to take with me in case I sit out in the vehicle waiting for DH (like at auto parts store or something).
I can always add watercolor pencil of a small pan of WC paint and a water brush.
I am motivated by all the old buildings and towns that we have visited. I am not keen on working from photos
but it's the best right now because I often sketch in the evenings.
In this sketch, I feel it's lacking a medium tonal value in x-hatching, but will do some practice on that.
I'm going to leave this as is. I'm anxious to finish this sketchbook and get a real Moleskine or Hahnemuhle
sketchbook that is more accepting of watercolor.
Thanks for looking!
