Paints Pens-N-Pencils

Practicing Krosshatching with a lemon. The scan didn't do the best job of displaying the colors. I will have to play with the settings to get a better image.

Continual Line Drawing, an exercise in drawing from Brenda Swanson from Sketchbook Skool. The third klass in the second semester "Seeing". She demonstrates the technique using a water soluable pen for which I do not have. My lines are solid. When she demonstrated adding the watercolor, some of the lines disolved which softened the drawing edges and blended the watercolors. It gave the sketch a loose feel. I will have to try the technique with the water soluble pen. For now here is my version with a waterproof pen and watercolor.

First assignment of 2nd semester Sketchbook Skool. A deep dive drawing of a piece of toast. I added watercolor.

Hello and welcome to my art blog. The second semester of Sketchbook Skool starts tomorrow and I had so much fun with the first klass called Beginings, I decided to start a blog to journal my progress and keep myself on track. so here is one of the sketches I did practicing the technique of "Krosshatch". Tommy Kane was the teacher of the last class of the semester and he did a extra video on Krosshatch technique to help us learn the technique. Not bad for my first attempt.
