Gel Pen Sketch

8.5 x 11













One of the things that my husband loves to do is target shoot. He sets up a paper target really far away so you need binoculars to see the circles on it. I started out drawing the black gun that was my cousin's but then they decided to switch guns on me so I ended up revising the gun to my husband's with the bigger scope. It was more fun to draw anyway because it has wood grain design. Didn't have yellow gel pen so drew weeds in green. Very sparse snow this year.

A friend of mine gave me the gel pens so I thought I would try them out. They freeze too even though I kept them in my coat next to my body. It wasn't that cold out as it was almost 30F.

Still too dark and wet to get good photos. 

Basically I am working in 4 sketch book sizes:
pocket sketch book 3.5 x 5.5
5.5 x 8.5 for pencil sketches
8.5 x 11 for plein air sketches
14 x 17 for sketch club conte crayon sketches (missed last week due to family emergency)

"Hang Loose" pencil sketch

5.5 x 8.5













This is actually a sketch of my cousin's hand. She was showing me some surfing signs and I discovered that I have lost flexibility in the little finger of my left hand. So now I need to run through ASL everyday with both hands to hopefully regain flexibility in my hands.

Marinette field plein air sketch in watercolor brush pens and pencil

Turned out better than I expected. The green wouldn't come out. Maybe it was frozen.
