For Valentine's Day Jerry bought me a lovely bouquet of flowers. It took me a while but I finally sketched them using water-soluble colored inks and watercolors. Now they will last! 

Assorted Sketches

Here are a few quick sketches that I've done recently. The first one is of a jeep. It was red and I planned on painting it red but mistakenly used my Lamy that had water-soluble brown ink in it. Adding watercolor just wouldn't have worked so I just did it as a wash.

When I finished the jeep I noticed this white house behind it that had this wonderful light and shadow. I knew I had to capture it quickly before the light changed. I used a small piece of watercolor paper that was about ATC sized and painted directly in watercolor. Of course when I finished I wished I had done it on larger paper.lol

These leaves were done for a Wet Canvas Scavenger Hunt recently. They were done in direct watercolor.
