A Little Bouquet of Cosmos, Asters, and Ageratum
Because I carry my sketchbook around with me I use it to store information like most people use their electronic devices. There is no "delete" in my sketchbook, so I glued some Aquarius II watercolor paper over some information that I didn't need anymore. I hope I didn't need anymore.The drawing on the left was done with a Pentel Sign pen, which is water soluble. The one on the right was drawn with a sepia Prismacolor colored pencil, which is not water soluble, and then I painted over the pencil with watercolor.
Someone in class today had a Tombow brush pen. Now, of course, I think I have to have one of those. It was sepia and had a brush pen at one end and a regular pointy nib at the other. She was doing some absolutely beautiful drawings with it. Oh, wait. Maybe it was her talent and not the pen that was making that magic. Anyway, Beverly, if you're reading this, those were wonderful drawings!

Thanks Linda. I'm happy to have brightened your day a little. Feel better SOON.
ReplyDeleteYou keep inspiring me, Catherine, with your lovely watercolors. And, btw, the Tombow brush markers are magic (especially in the right hands!)
ReplyDeleteThanks Suspinz! I think I am going to have to find a tombow marker and see if I have the right hands. Or at least work at having the right hands.
ReplyDeleteI recently began watercolor painting classes and especially love journaling. I found and bought your beautiful book through my wonderful teacher. Keep inspiring! gerri

Hi Catherine, I've been following your blog for a while and just love your work. I finally got a google account so I can comment. I wish I lived near you so I could take your classes. Have you ever considered teaching an online class? I'm taking one right now on ImaginaryTrips.com and I would definitely take one with you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue. I have given some thought to doing an on-line class. I am going to have to look into that.
