Journaling/Sketchbookery

Decided to sign up for Mary Ann Moss' online class Sketchbookery (www.skethbookery.com) to try to sketch/journal daily.  Have been reading her adventures on her blog  via facebook for quite a while.

So far I am two for two.  Let's see if I keep it up.

ZOE

This is the final of today's sketchbook journal post. My Jack Russell Zoe aka the SnUgGLeR on her fav quilt. It looked like the one below till I got the bright idea to paint the background so that the letters didn't over power the nice watery Wc of Zoe. Not easy to paint wispy white fur. I even wet and whipped out some of the shading when I got a little too carried away as usual. Oh and I ran out of room for her rear. OPPS!!

Before I darkened the background. I painted over all the letters but her name. I like it better w the background painted.

Chic Fil A

Yesterday I did a contour sketch of a lady at Chic Fil A. Her table partner left just when I started to draw her so the chair is empty. I painted this when I got home.

Both are in my Wc moleskine w Winsor Newton Wc. I used a #12 brush so I couldn't get to fiddly. I love to fiddle w my watercolors.  The lettering was done with a tiny WC brush.
