PLANE ART

I am finally back home just as the weather started to warm up in KC. I like to travel with some art supplies. It was a whirlwind kind of trip with no time to draw or paint except at the airport and on the plane. I tried to upload some additional drawings but the computer gods were not smiling on me tonight. This is the only one that would load. I did a sketch with the Elegant Writer and then used the water brush to create a tonal drawing. I decided to try and add some color. A friend had given me a little Koi watercolor travel set. It is so cute. The size of your palm. The quality of the paint is student grade but for a sketch book it is fine. The ink continued to run as I added color so I decided to try one with an initial pencil sketch and then color. This is the result. I am using my recycled tan colored paper sketch book so the white really shows up well! I was surprised the paper performed fairly decently with watercolor. It really isn't a wet media kind of book but the paper seems a little heavier than many sketchbooks. I am hoping to get a serious painting done this weekend. Monday I start a 4 day George James Workshop in Yupo. Can't wait!
