Excellent Christmas!

I won! 

Stillman & Birn was giving away a Gamma sketchbook and set of Pitt Pens....

and I got lucky :D

The paper is a lovely creamy color and is suitable for all dry media

and will accept light washes

So...

I drew a beach dream while lots of folks are getting a winter blast

and colored it with watercolor pencils

whipped out the water brush and here you are!

(I've been told that light wash thing before and it was so nice to be true.)

Now that the water test is out of the way

I can see how the Pitt pens, colored pencils, markers, and drawing pen fare.

This paper is screaming for walnut ink...

 Thank You, Stillman & Birn, for sending it out priority mail.

Happy Christmas, indeed.

 

a page from my watercolor sketchbook

I love iris and white flowers in particular. The ones that grow in my yard (make note I didn't say garden) are many colors but none of them are just white.

This page in my sketchbook was done based on a photo shared by Mary Lewis Williamson.
Thanks, Mary!

A Little Place in Montana

Here's a little place in Montana. Actually, quite a bit of it is missing, the pages in my sketchbook are about 5 x 10. The ranches appear to go on forever. You should see the mountains!

Look what I found in Idaho

A Spanish Mission just outside of Coeur d'Alene ID...sure took me by surprise.
I expect to see them in California and Arizona and New Mexico but this one way up north in the Idaho panhandle caught my eye.
