Little Book of Experiments

8/29/2020

 
Picture
Recently purchased this new Stillman & Birn, Zeta Series (5.5" x 3.5") Soft Cover Sketchbook. "The paper in the Zeta Series is hearty, smooth, and perfect for rich watercolors, vibrant markers, unique fountain pens, and more!"
I am going to look at this as "little book of experiments". Try something new... maybe its style, maybe it use of colour or limited use of colour, maybe its abstract, maybe it an different subject matter, happen to see an artist style that I admire, give it a try.

Page 1 - A sketch that is extra loose and use limited colours. The subject, flowers from the garden, something I normally do not do. Here we have the morning glories that climb on the fence by the garage. The sketch done very quickly, only a few minutes.

BlackHorse Golf

8/23/2020

 
BlackHorse Golf & County Resort
Played this golf course on Friday, August 21, a sunny, hot day, perfect for golf. The number breakdown looks like this...
18 holes  -  16 sketches  -  2 tall boys  -  4 hours, 5 minutes  -  89 total
Riding in a cart while golfing, always gives more time for sketching. The "on course" sketches are very quick... I never want to be "that" golfer who holds other golfers up! So, I have learned to sketch very quickly, especially on the golf course. Sometimes, I start with some pencil lines (I was using a mechanical pencil, which I have had since college), but sometimes I go right to permanent black ink.  All of these sketches were done on the course and the colour was added later.
