My Recent Purchase has Arrived! and Sketches



I am a happy girl! My Cretacolor water soluble graphite pencils arrived, along with my first Handbook journal!



My first drawing in the new journal - from some photos of sheep I took one summer day coming home on the backroads.



Sketches in my Aquabee Super Deluxe Sketchbook:

Nicely done! I've never tried the ws graphite before. I may have to just try some of those.

Those sheep are lovely! (I can relate to the excitement of getting a new sketchbook and art supplies...)

I adore those sheep!!! :-)

Jennifer Edwards said...

Your sketch of the sheep is fantabulous! Perhaps you could "develop" it into a larger painting! Wonderful!

Johanna said...

I agree with the others, the sheep are adorable!

Looks like a lot of fun to work with water soluble pencil!

Wow! Those sheep are fabulous! I'd say it is definitely your medium! Though your other sketches are wonderful too, so maybe it's the artist! ;D

I love the drawing of the sheep!!!
Aren't hand.book journals nice!

Your drawings are beautifully done! You did a great job on getting a full range of values, particularly on the sheep. I have been doing exercises in values this week, working in watercolor just in black, grays and white and find it helps me understand shading better.

Woo hoo! New toys! Sounds like a great day to me.

Your sheep look lovely, too.

Yay. You got your new tools! Those sheep are super! Really well done. They look like they belong in a book - you know, done by a professional! :)

Your sheep are such a peaceful drawing. You're doing to love your new journal and you've broke it in well already!
