Sketching took place today at PT for Gene. I forgot my watercolors and brushes but did remember the sketchbook. It was pretty nice outside but I didn't feel up to the wind and stayed inside.
Jo Castillo Art Blog - Pastels and More
I am an artist that paints in pastels, with some oils, and acrylics. I sketch in pen and ink. As an artist my original paintings are influenced from living in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Bolivia, Peru and Chile, and travels throughout much of Canada and all our fifty States. This is my spot for posting paintings and sketches, to muse mostly about art, life and a little about UT Baseball.

Sketch Pens
At PT yesterday I wanted to sketch my sketching pens. I had a pack of Ohuhu pens so that was perfect. I held them in my hand but decided not to include my fingers in the sketch.
