Ai, thanks so much. I'll have to repost it when it is totally finished.

Jade, thank. Your good words must have been the magic touch. I had a nice day sketching. Love the landscape and sweet definitely describes your feathery friend.

Fletch, I guess it is good that we are forced to organize them at some point. lol Lovely shading on the skin of the apple. Nice work on the highlighted area. Looks yummy enough to eat!

Both of these were done at the beach today. For the most part sitting doesn't bother my back so I was comfortable.
8 - fence (sub for gate) - Procreate

Jade, thanks for the kind words. For several years cp was my go to medium. I got into art initially wanting to learn pastels loving Degas. I took classes at the local art center. The teacher was great we all worked in whatever medium we preferred. There were 2 ladies in the class who created great detailed botanicals using cp. So I shifted to cp to draw more detailed work for several years. I still occasionally used pastel and still love pastel works. I shifted back to graphite after getting tired of cp paintings taking 40 to 100 hours or more. I miss color and have tired to learn watercolor but it never flows like graphite or cp. Am thinking the best compromise may be watercolor pencils which seems to work like blending cp.

Joan - Like the waves in the digi. The depth perspective in the wp is great. Like kind of zig zag composition which balances the table and umbrella.

Joe - Seeing your sketches of Eeyore always make me smile. Nice pen work on the bottle. . The line work reall6 sells the bumps on the bottom.

Keep sketching and learning
Fletch
