A collection of things from my sketchbooks, recent paintings and drawings, and the motivation to keep making new stuff so I have things to post.

August 19
Another drawn from a photo sketch, another one I'm not totally thrilled with. I was trying to capture the way the sun streamed through the trees but it's not quite right.
I also was trying out some new art supplies in this sketch: Derwent Inktense. They definitely are brighter colors than the other watercolor pencils I have (Derwent, Daler-Rowney, Prismacolor). Not sure how I feel about them yet.
Though the Caran D'Ache Supracolor II pencils seem to be a nice blend (no pun intended) of the Derwent & Daler-Rowney and the Derwent Inktense. They're heavily pigmented but the color doesn't overwhelm the drawing.
Maybe it's only the almost-fluorescent green color of the grass that's bugging me here.
