Sketching the Yard and Fan Inktober Day 7

We walked out by the easterly pond/lake this morning so I took the travel sketchbook and a Sharpie Pen.  I'm stretching this sketch to be the "yard" on the Scavenger Hunt list.


 Number 8, yard for Scavenger Hunt 696


Off to the left there were some amazing reflections.  I did a little study just to try a technique for reflections.  Not too bad....

Reflections in the lake with Sharpie pen in the travel sketchbook.


It is day 7 of Inktober.  I sketched in the big book out on the porch.  The prompt was fan.  I decided to sketch with a real pen, a Lamy.  The nib is about the size of a Micron 05.  Stronger lines than the Micron 02 for sure.


Remember you can click on the images to see them a bit larger.

Repeating in case you missed this.

The Lost Pines Art Center here in Bastrop has some upcoming events.



You can go to both and you have time to have a table at the Holiday Market for a reasonable price.  Looks like fun.  More information at https://lostpinesartcenter.org or on facebook.

I'm glad you didn't bring the big sketchbook with you. That's a nice view with the lake extending out a bit. Nice work on the reflection sketch. That isn't easy to do with a pen.

Joan, no way to take the book walking. Too awkward. Thanks, the reflection was interesting to do.

R's Rue, Thank you. Hope you have a good weekend.

Jennifer Rose, thanks a bunch.

I painted a fan just like yours. Great minds!

Jo Castillo said...

Bag Blog, absolutely right, great minds! (Or too lazy to go find another fan!)

your inktober sketches are lovely. I actually did it for two weeks last year! Progress.

Mary, thanks. I think my first Inktober was pretty scattered as well. Good for you to sketch something. It helps for me that I sketch almost daily for the Scavenger Hunts on wetcanvas, I can just use one sketch for both most of the time.
