Leah’s Moly So Far (larger)

It’s time for another round of the International Moleskine Exchange. This month I got to work in Leah’s moly. Her theme is “Enter the Carnival”. Great idea: this was sure fun to do.

This time I used an Ultra Fine Sharpie for the drawing, rather than my usual fountain pen, and the same watercolor pencils that I’ve been using, for color.

SketchCrawl 19: Backyard

June 23rd, 2008

Saturday was SketchCrawl 19 day. I couldn’t join the San Francisco group this time around, but did manage a quickie Crawl in my backyard before the sun set.

It was unseasonably warm: a real summer day. A giant bee kept following me around and blocking my view of the best flowers. I felt like I had a sketching companion after all! (And he didn’t even sting me…)

Backyard Rose (larger)

A quick couple of sketches here. I made the first sketch while sitting in my parked car listening to Danny Gregory’s excellent podcast on sketching and sketchbooks. And then later in the day I sketched the fading white rose in my backyard.
