Sketchbook Revival Day 10 Session 1

Sarah Simon “Watercolor Techniques and a Leafy Wreath to Share”

Sketchbook Revival Day 9 Session 2

Esté Macleod “Exploring Shapes by Printing and Stamping in Watercolor”

I used acrylics since they were easier to pour in quantity.

My set up.

Early fiddling…really like the lower right fan and feathered blob.

Sketchbook Revival Day 9 Session 1

Susan Chiang’s “A Pair of Pears: Loose Watercolor Sketching”

For those of you who follow my work, this is my favorite way of working. I did take a liberty at the end and add some hard lines in pen and walnut ink…around the stems, in the shadows, and along some edges.

Sketchbook Revival Day 8 Session 1

Shelley Klammer’s presentation “The History and Practice of Automatic Drawing”

I have a love/hate relationship with these results. There are portions I will deliberately make in the future, and there are parts that just don’t speak to me at all.

Sketchbook Revival Day 7 Session 2

Watercolor artist Trupti Karjinni shared some excellent watercolor techniques (wet on dry, wet on wet, and dry on dry) to examine the results of each and how they work together.

The painting was a 5-minute sketch! Crazy.
