FROM MY SKETCH BOOK ...

A couple of weeks ago I bought a sketch book, because I thought it was something an artist had. I don't do sketching; I should be doing that but I don't. So, I decorated the front and back covers and admired the beautiful thick white pages. And, I didn't do any sketching, or anything. Finally, the other day I took pencil (and eraser!) in hand and began. I drew this street scene and then redrew it with a thin Micron pen. I kinda liked it! Then, yesterday I added color in the form of very watered down acrylic paint. You see, I have been wrestling with the idea that I SHOULD be giving watercolor a try, but I really LIKE painting with acrylics. The final product looks very much like water color to me. So, right now acrylics are where it's at. Another sketch will be forthcoming! However, not today. Today we go to the fair! Stay tuned!
