Saw this Christmas Cholla while hiking today.

Working with watercolor pencil on watercolor paper. I am enjoying sketching from AZ Highways photos this one from the Grand Canyon.

Watercolor pencil on gray card stock paper. This side of the paper has a deep vertical texture. The flip side is smoother. More to experiment with.

Working on tone and value in the sketchbook.

Computer Frustration

I am trying to import this blog from another Google account. As you can see it is not going too well.

I worked with soft pastels on Friday...inspired by the sage that is blooming right now.

We had lots of thunder, lightning, and rain on Valerie's birthday October 5. In my sketchbook, I drew from an Arizona Highways photograph an image of lightning over a mountain.

Gateway

Took a walk out at the Gateway trailhead this morning. I am starting the Artist's Way class online today and this is my second Artist's Date.
The sketch is from this same location looking in a different direction.

Watercolors

My son just started 7th grade art this semester. He encouraged us to try it at home. Here is my attempt.
