Cheers,

EP, great arrangement. The portrait is my favorite.

 

[Jo Castillo]

eyepaint, what a great collection of sketches. I love them all. You inspire me to think differently.

I was already working on the still life with pepper. A labor on Labor Day in the USA. This is in a Strathmore watercolor sketchbook, about 9 x 12 inches with assorted watercolor and Micron 02 ink.
Thanks Kay for the photos and always for your encouragement to try watercolors.

Jo, that is lovely! Amazing you got such a fresh piece and bright colors out of mediocre paper.

 

[Jo Castillo]

Thanks, Joy. Actually the paper is Bristol, 100 lb. Not bad for a sketchbook. It was a gift. In general Strathmore paper is not a favorite. I find the pastel paper they have is very gridded and slick. MiTeintes is so much better. I don't have much experience with watercolor as you know.

Eyepaint, congratulations on being #1 this month. You have a nice collection of sketches. My favorite is the horse.

Jo, nice work on the veggies. I love the shine on the pepper and red onion. I also like your suggestion of the plant without getting too bogged down with detail.

I managed to do a couple. They are both pen and ink and watercolor in XL Mix Media Sketchbook. They are roughly 4"x6" each.

I started with a freehand pencil sketch, then inked with a Micron 005, then I added the watercolor.

Thanks for hosting Kay.

Anne, the texture on the veggies is great!

I like the thought of the rocks in watercolour

Hi everyone and thanks so much, hope to do another soon. You all inspire.

Anne, ams, I love the pumpkins and other veggies. You have a nice drawing touch and an eye for color. Love the ink with watercolor.
