Ink and Watercolor Pencil Fushia

Ink and watercolor pencil in a Hand Journal sketch book.One of my favorite hanging basket types and two if my favorite colors. Together at that!

A change of subject

It was nice to have a change of decor in the office appointments I find myself looking for new angles on the same subjects.

.

Using my zoo member magazine for reference- another change of subject and a new Pitt Penn for the black may be falling in love!! I got a single one at Michael's crafts. $2.99 plus discount coupon.

few stolen hours at the lake

i just can't resist running out to grab a few more hours of summer fun. It was a beautiful beautiful day finally for some water fun. The kids and i headed to a near by lake to play at the beach area and swim. I started this sketch with the bucket and then it up and left with a child...I then added items around it as I worked. Lightly using watercolor pencils and a water brush to color it while I was there.

Summer days recorded

I have been busy with the days of summer . Though I hadn't posted as I went I continued to get a few days of "journaling" in.many of these I did while waiting during one appointment or another. I have been braver about pulling out my book to sketch at friends houses and picnics. grabbing a moment to document one thing or another. i did write more as I have gone. making it a little more diary like. That is not the intention of the over all look I want but I do like having the 'record' in one form or another.

Color was added later with watercolor pencil. Not wetting the paper to much.

Memorial Day Drawing

I put pencil and brush actually to paper over the weekend. As well as some watercolor pencil. Though I don't have much to show for it. The very last hours on Monday, with kids bathed and piled on my bed for some t.v. I grabbed this Gala apple and some watercolor pencils. i didn't use any water.

I found the variety of colors a challenge as well as the darker reds that went around the apple. I didn't have all the colors I wanted in the pencils and in this computer scan, is a little flatter than I hope it appears on the paper.

I would work on it more except it is promised to 2 of the kids who couldn't wait to eat it!

It is odd to me our(the creative person) or at least my passion or obsession depending on how you look at it. After a full weekend of chores and family I wasn't really content till I attempted something in my sketch book.
