Some pages from my sketchbook








Picked up a nice, flat, about 8.5 x 5.5 Art Alternatives sketchbook to experiment with. It was pretty cheap but the paper so far works pretty well.

Discovered that the Pentel Hybrid Technica pens are water soluble but that's not a problem. Ink reproduces better than pencil. I like using a cheap, plastic technical pencil as it keeps a decent point and I don't like sharpening pencils. I am learning to use a Prange watercolor kit.

I read
  • Watercolor Journeys by Richard Schilling
  • Traveling with your sketchbook by Joyce Ryan
  • Artist's Journal Workshop by Cathy Johnson
  • An Illustrated Life by Danny Gregory - Really liked this book.
