Happy Birthday to Our U.S. Marine Corps - Zeke, Watercolor and Hunting

Happy 244th Birthday to our Marine Corps!  Especially our own, David. 

He was sooooo young.  Semper Fi!

Here are some previous posts on my blog with David.  https://jocastilloartblog.blogspot.com/search?q=marine+corps+birthday

One of the photos for the November Challenge in the Southwest Forum of wetcanvas was a cute miniature horse belonging to Sheila in Alberta, Canada.  My watercolor doesn't do the pony any favors.  I learn something every time I paint, so that is wonderful.

He looks a little scared in my sketch!  Water spreads and runs ... it is water after all.


For Scavenger Hunt 609, Mary picked junk drawer, so we both sketched that.  I picked art tool for my next sketch so they would fit on the page.



These were sketched with a Prismacolor 05 in the big book.
