It was such a pleasant morning, I thought I'd sit out in my backyard and do a little sketch before they take the wheat off. We live right on the edge of our town, and each year we enjoy the view of the field right behind us to the west. Most of our weather comes from this direction, as well as a nice breeze. Today, sitting beside the field, it was downright windy! I had trouble keeping my moleskin open, but it sure kept me cool. A little moth decided he would like to keep me company and sat at the edge of my ultramarine blue for most of the painting.
I also sketched some more flowers today. I'm trying to decide if I like the pen and wash for my flower sketches or pencil and wash...what do you think?
They are both great, but I really like the ink with watercolor.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Krista! I really like that look too. I think I'll continue my sketch book with the ink and wash.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky to have that view to paint right on your doorstep. Lovely painting.

Thanks Ona! Yes, we love "our" field! We'd be very upset if they decided to put a development there.
ReplyDeleteLove your field. What a wonderful view! I guess I'm just partial to the ink and wash. The straight w/c is wonderful, but love the other!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb, I love ink and wash too!
