Two Gardeners

This sketch is one I would really like to go back and add some watercolor. Even though the flowers weren't showy, the watering can were bright colors.

Pointing Lady with Watercolor

Here she is with watercolor added. There was much more going on in the photo but I decided to eliminate a lot of the chaos.

Pointing Lady

This lady was indoors pointing at something out of view. It would definitely profit from a revisit with some watercolor. She looks like she is floating and needs some grounding.

Leaf blower with Watercolor

I went back into the brown ink drawing of the gardener with some watercolor.

Leaf Blower

The subject of our last week of the Imaginary Trip to Selby Gardens was Everyday People and Objects. I had just received my Platinum carbon pen converter and Noodles brown ink. So I had great fun playing with them. My first image was a gardener using a leaf blower. May go back in with some watercolor. I tried to keep my pen on the paper as long as possible before picking it up and moving to another place on the page, a modified continuous line drawing.

Potted Geranium at Selby Gardens

This sketch is from the week on Contained and Maintained. This isn't where it was at the end of the timed session. I went in a couple of weeks later and punched up the darkest values.

Koi

This guy was fun to paint. It is a subject that really gives itself over to the character of watercolor.
