Sketching in the park

Went sketching birds in Upper Bidwell Park by Horseshoe Lake this morning. The Snowgoose festival has offered some sketching classes. We had fun, and I learned some great tips on sketching birds in general.

These two sketches are the last of several pages of playing with pencils and brushes.

Christmas Card

Here is the front design of my Christmas cards for this year. Been printing, cutting, stuffing envelopes, addressing, etc., all day.

Text below is what is inside my cards.

Latest Photo

Here is the latest photo of the 7.5"x9.5" watercolor of Tolee.

Watercolor of White German Shepard

First two are 4.5"x3".

Third is 5"x3.5".

It is fun to see how they change as I practice. These three are in the same order as I painted them.

A Large Version of Tolee

This one is 7.5"x9.5.

I will probably take another photo of this one in daylight.

More of Tolee

This watercolor is 3.5"x5". 

Tolee

Here are a couple of 3"x4.5" watercolor exercise sketches I did of Tolee, a miniature poodle who belongs to our local Curves manager.
