Gene went on his trike so I walked to the third bridge on the easterly side of the lakes. The path is between the two lakes at this point. Remember a while back I forgot to take a pen or pencil for my sketch and did it in direct watercolor? Today I wanted to sketch in ink and add watercolor. So my checklist:
- Ohuhu Mix Media sketchbook - accepts watercolor
- Micron 03 pen
- Waterbrush
- Paper towel
- Phone since Gene was on his trike
All items checked and in my hand or pockets.
I sat and sketched the ink part of the first sketch. Opened the watercolors, got the waterbrush and went to work. After a few swipes on the towel to clean for the next color, I realized the brush was out of water! First time I let that happen. I was close to the house had not taken water to drink or use for painting. I quickly sketched the second sketch with the pen and came back to the house to add the color. A lack of preparation again. Sigh.....

I like the feel of the sun in these. It is hard to remember everything when you go out unless it is all packed ahead of time and double-checked. lol Glad you got out to walk and sketch.
So pretty
Joan, thanks. Maybe if I used my watercolor equipment more often I could have it together. Thanks for your comments about the light. :-)
R's Rue, thank you, always.....
