The Grange on Toned Paper

I tend to do a lot of sketches at The Grange because it is so close to home and is a great spot with this driveway. I grabbed my Strathmore toned tan sketchbook when I was heading out because I know that while gouache works so well on the toned paper. I've sketched this driveway twice this winter and the view each way makes me happy. 


Here is the painting and my supplies balanced on my lap while sitting in my mobile studio.

    1. Thanks, Mel. Sometimes the toned paper fits perfectly. I brought it to Tangram Mall but I couldn't find something that would work well on it.

    1. Many thanks. It is a little easier to paint from this car. The seats adjust easier and I'm not always losing something down the space between the seats.
