Nothing I like better than trying to recessitate a failed painting.i lightened and darkened this one and I think it came out with a little more flair….
A still life I started in class that has yet to recapture my attention….
I found this little sketchbook (4x6) that I bought maybe five years ago and decided I’d better start using before I can no longer paint that small! Inspired by Alan’s sketches, I sketched onsite in my backyard with pencil, painted and then inked the sketches. I used a .03 pen in the first one, the only waterproof pen I have, but it’s too fine for me. The second one is a non waterProof gel pen, which is too heavy imo.fyi Greeta, it is magnolia tree season here and they are glorious this year!
