Two more watercolor pencil drawings
The assignment today was to use dark paper and opaque watercolor pencils or crayons to depict a sunrise or sunset scene. I have many sunset scenes to depict, as we have spent quite a bit of time in Hawaii in the past year. And there is nothing I love more than watching the sun set [...]
Today’s Watercolor Pencil Drawing
This is today’s watercolor pencil exercise. I started it last evening and finished this morning. I had trouble with the white caps of the waves, but at least there’s a hint of it! More will be done today, I’m sure.
I’ve spent some time this morning choosing which pencils and watercolor crayons to bring along while [...]
More watercolor pencil work
I’ve continued to work on my watercolor pencil class. We’re in week 3, and we’re actually making this a two-week exercise. I’m glad for that, because we’re all finding this part a struggle. To the right is my first attempt after I received some feedback from the instructor. I like the movement in the water, [...]

Week 2 Farmhouse Painting
As I mentioned last week, I plan to use a photo I did of a farmhouse/shack in Sedona as a learning piece each week. After I go through the exercises in the class, I’m going to see how my work has changed by going back to this reference photo I took. I’ve done that for [...]
Lucky Lady and Some Art
I’m so blown away by the One World One Heart project. We had over 200 blogs participating. I signed up for several of the drawings, getting to know some other bloggers. I’ve been honored to win several goodies. I will post them here when I get them, but I wanted to publicly thank the bloggers [...]
