A Day At the Beach

Graphite pencil sketch and then a vert light watercolor wash

Sorry for all the wrinkled paper but this paper is for dry mediums only.  It doesn't like water!

Unlike the character in the sketch who seems to be having quite a good time in the water!

A few fun pieces

Always having fun sketching and watercoloring 

This one is of three friends on the beach front

These are geraniums from my front garden that I sketched a pot to add demension.  First I sketched it with graphite pencil and then did a light water color wash. 

I call this In Her Easter Bonnet!  Cute!  Taken from the Art of Vogue 1909 - 1940.  Pencil sketched  and then did a light watercolor wash.  

This is my home - a work in progress.  Sketching with graphite pencil. It was built in 1996 and I thought it would be fun to add to "the wall" . . . I hang my work all over my home!  Much to my husband's distress!  LOL. 

And this cute little bird was a Art Trading Card event held each month (or so) by Grumbacher.  I entered and then they post all the entries.  Fun.  Oh participants also get a trading card in return.  After a number of trades you receive free product from Grumbacher!

Catching up on my posting . . . . . sketching every day to improve my skills - I can see progress!  And some I've even added a water color wash, since I love watercolors and their transparency!
