White-Breasted Nuthatch

We saw some snow and below freezing temps this week, which brought the birds to the feeders.

I am also working on a journal for Indiana parks I have visited. The painting is done… now to journal the pages for the first one.

We got a bit of icy weather and snow this week. That means more birds at the feeders.

Over my lunch hour, my favorite sketch this week is an eagle from John Baughman’s image on Facebook’s Indiana Birdography.

Urban Sketching

20181112_200206

A commission for a graphite drawing of an office building as a gift for the owner turned into a watercolor, which they chose.

First I figured out which vantage point to take with this long, low building. Then I mocked up the basic lines to make sure I was good with that decision. Next, the pencil drawing. I am not a fan of my pencil work. So on to ink and watercolor, urban sketch style. I was happy and so were they.

Thanks, Moser team, for pushing me into doing some urban work in the middle of my oil and Christmas season. Fun!
