Ai, your golf outing made me laugh. Excellent gestures on the golfers. Yummy waffle for sure.

Fletch, hi. Wow, beautiful jar/bottle. The shape and shadows are so nice.

Pine Cone, aww, the ducks are fun and cute. Well done!!

Joan, the place is so peaceful. Love the dramatic sky. Your structure has such great lines. Love all the detail with the cars, sign, etc. Applause.

I sketched on my footstool this morning. Joanna went to a friends wedding and they brought me some of the flowers they didn't use to sketch. So pretty. Hope to get them in pastel. White is difficult but a good challenge. Number 1 flower in the Conda Sketchpad with Micron 02.

This is a bit of the upper floor of a home. I loved the way the gigantic trees (¿poplars???) cast shadows on the textured wall and the dark windows, so I quickly sketched the home and made notes. Later, I added color and essence.

(The home was in front of me in my mobile studio. The trees were behind me, a little to one side, and the sun that created the life of the shadows was behind the gigantic grove of trees.)

NOTE: I never use the Procreate features that stabilize strokes, straigten lines, or round out circles for the artist. Also, I never use the grid overlay that Procreate offers. However, those are valid artistic tools, and I don’t wish to discourage their use.

NOTE: My personal choice is to sketch, draw, and paint in ProCreate with brushes and erasers. I do NOT paint into “selections” or “masks”. If I stray outside of where I want to be, I erase.
 
Joan, beautiful. I always like how you do fences.

Pine Cone, Oh, love windows and this blue one is perfect. Nice texture with the shadows.

I'm smiling for being here. Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrate. I missed Canada's in October, but thought of you in the North.
