Doodles mostly but sometimes the Pastor. Don't think he would find them flattering tho. And like I always said...instead of a captive audience, I have captive posers."JeanneG"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16398758813763335651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-23669487529741910802007-02-03T10:20:00.000+00:002007-02-03T10:20:00.000+00:00Hi Vivien - choice of subject influenced by the fa...Hi Vivien - choice of subject influenced by the fact that there was actually a bunch of beets with roots on this week! I've been trying to do them for ages.<br /><br />Jeanne - you always make me smile with your commitment to sketching - dating back to when you first started taking your sketchbook to church! ;) You're also a great advertisement to all those who think they can't draw for what sketching on a regular basis can do for somebody.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-86053678036602394712007-02-03T06:28:00.000+00:002007-02-03T06:28:00.000+00:00I have been doing some of my sketchcrawl items in ...I have been doing some of my sketchcrawl items in color. Nothing so nice as yours. But I have found that I can work with watercolor pencils and a waterbrush easier than watercolor paints and a brush. But I usually use the pen and ink afterward. I am still gun-shy about drawing first in pen. That will be another thing to try soon. Beets are not something I would buy or draw but I like the ones you did. <br /><br />In the scavenger hunts I do a lot of sketching of things I wouldn't normally do. And now I am pretty comfortable drawing or sketching just about anything. And since your class, I haven't used a grid. Thanks for giving me goals to work toward.

They seem a little chalkier than Prismacolors and don't bloom down so fast, but it may be too early to tell for sure...Picahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10119023156472039062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-30979914478535820252007-02-02T14:50:00.000+00:002007-02-02T14:50:00.000+00:00What beautiful sweet, juicy beets, Katherine.
