Journal Group Paint Out

Our Watercolor Journal Group decided to put off going to China Camp until our next meeting.

There were only 3 of us around to show up 
so we headed off to a local mall.
The weather was iffy. 
So we needed an option to be able to 
go into a book store with a cafe 
if the skies opened up 
and the rains came our way.

As you can see, I am on the last laps of 
my 75 Day Pen and Ink Sketchbook Challenge.
I miss my watercolors and have 
received comments that others miss seeing them, too.

12 more to go, not that I am counting.

This has been a good discipline for me. 
Using only pen and not pencil helps you 
to really look at what you are seeing 
and get it right the first time. 
If you do correct, 
you can see how you were off the first time.

Wonderful sketches--and it is a challenge (not to use watercolors).
I'll be glad to see some watercolors too--maybe you could drop some color into those great sketches???
