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.
