Free in Watercolor Plus

Gene and I walked out to the first bench on the West side of the lakes.  The water is sooo low.  It should be almost to the big tree.  We did see an egret, some turtles and some small ducks. There were some  turkey buzzards up high, guess they were enjoying gliding in the wind.

My sketch is in the Ohuhu Mix Media sketchbook.  I used the Micron 03 for sketching and the small pocket watercolor kit with a waterbrush.  The sketch took about 15 minutes.  It was so windy we decided to come back.  As we walked the wind died down and was nice again by the time we got back.  It was about 74 degrees out.

Well, I wrote this yesterday and never sent it!  Surprise!! 

 

I have been busy since then, so here you go.

Last night I played on my iPad.  I hardly ever do that.  I started watching a Midsomer Murders on PBS and liked the opening scene so sketched it and didn't finish watching the show.  It is recorded and I have seen it probably 3 or 4 times anyway.


 Midsomer field about 45 minutes on my iPad with Brushes.


Then another 20 minutes on the iPad for this holly sketch.  Just for fun.


This morning was very nice.  Gene and I sat on the porch for our pumpkin bread and coffee.  I hadn't baked anything for ages.  I sketched in the ArtStreet sketchbook with a Micron 03.  About half a page for about 30 minutes.

Stopping to do the Midsummer sketch instead of watching the made me smile. I really like it and the watercolor. Hugs.

Hey, Joanna. Thanks, not sure why I didnt feel up to watching TV. Maybe just too much of that lately. The walk was short, but got in a sketch.

You are sneaking in sketches and I'm missing them. lol

Joan, I know what you mean. I'm having a hard time getting a good blog reader again and have to search out my usual bunch.

I am glad I got to visit and sit on your back porch and see the views. Now I can know where you are and what you see.

bag blog, it was wonderful for you to be here and see our views. We should have walked a bit out on the dam. Oh, well, next time.
