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.

Honey Locust Pod
While on a walk through my neighborhood, I look down to see the remnents of this past fall when the air was crisp and the leaves crunched under your feet. Now, all soggy and squished from the weight of winter snow, the Honey Locust seed pod emerges. The leaves all shades of brown and gray laying in wait, as if to declare " hey, time for spring clean up!"
#sketchbookskool #art4all - Sketching a tree
I came home from work to a beautiful sunny day 72 degrees. I went out on our deck and decided to sketch the tree in from of me. Although it is still "winter" and the tree is bare, it has the buds starting on it, showing signs of spring, YEAH!!!. This is a red maple. It has bright red/orange leaves in the fall. I used my new Noodler's Ahab flex pen and DeAtramentis black ink. I went straight to ink and love the expressive lines I can get with the pen. Normally I would do a minimal setup but, today I went straight to pen. Enjoyed the process!!!
