I Miss Aly!

We had tea here every week for 7 YEARS!  It's not the same without her!...hence the empty portrayal of the place that is usually bustling with people!

This is what happens when I draw without focus!

Kind of surreal, isn't it? ...me and Dali...we be mates!

What did I do this last week?

My drawing was very minimal, because my focus was off. We had orientation this week, and my heart just wasn't into getting my art stuff out...I attempted to draw at Starbucks while simultaneously FaceTiming my daughter, and the perspective got all skewed. It was actually a really strange experiment. I was able to concentrate fairly well on her, but not on what my eyes were seeing. Like my hand was drawing without my eyes and brain communicating. I will take a picture and show you. I wasn't on drugs. Honest.

Sennelier Aqua-mini, I LOVE YOU!

This handy little water color set is NOT your "I'M 5 YEARS OLD AND I AM DOING ART!" set. NO no no sirrie! It may look like that... but these are high quality pigments, well worth the price you pay for an amazing set that you can take with you. Included inside: an outrageous high quality teenie paint brush.  Thank you, Yuming Zhu, for showing me this set in your travel kit!

Today's plume de becasse

I am going to try to add some color to this one later.

Plume de becasse and watercolor

Breakfast. Need I say more?

The Rustic Goat Cafe

It was hard to get time to draw this week, but I spent bits and pieces inking this in...and finished this morning. Now I am playing with a teeny watercolor kit from Sennelier. I will post the results later!
