Sketchy Sketches..

I haven't given up on my traditional watercolors, absolutely not! 
However, I mentioned earlier that I've gotten into sketching with pen/wc washes.  There's a lot you can learn by doing this and I never realized that it's also fun to do .. 
 Some are from life, I do still get to Paneras LOL !  and a few I found as photos. Of course your supposed to do them from life, but then again I don't think I'll be going to Europe anytime soon . 
  'The Taj Mahal' ... ok , so I think big. 


                           Sicily 


                            Somewhere in Copenhagen.   

Oh and a peek into my latest journal go to my 'Journey blog'.
and my all time 2nd favorite medium , the lowly pencil.
here 'tis .

  2. Barbra these are delightful! I love watercolour and ink together. You have a real knack for it. They are so free and fun. Thanks for the comment you left me the other day. I know every artist goes through those dreadful slumps. Sigh! Nasty business for sure. But sketching and doodling can add a much needed spark. Your sketches have inspired me. Time to get out the sketch book and watercolours. Thanks Barbra. Happy sketching!
