I haven't posted sketches in a while. How did that happen? Well, here are a couple of recent sketches from my handmade sketchbook. The one above is the view off our back deck, minus lots of tree limbs. I sketched this with pencil and colored pencil, washed with water. It was late in the afternoon. I just love the light that time of day. And recently geese have been flying over in the late afternoons, on their way from the pond in our neighborhood to a pond over on the next hill. Can you hear them honking?
This was a quick watercolor sketch. I couldn't let February get away with sketching tulips.
What a lovely view you have! And the beautiful, cheery, tulips made me long for spring. Very nice, as always! nancy
ReplyDeleteThese are both so pretty. I love the blues and greens in both. The tree scene is so inviting!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great February! Lovely.
ReplyDeletelove the tulips :) nice vibrant red
ReplyDeleteBoth are good, but I do like the trees especially!
ReplyDeleteYour sketchbooks are full of masterpieces, Ann. I so love them!
ReplyDeleteI realize that your drawings never lack of colors =) which I really love. The water colors on the tulips are awesome and are a little different than your usuals like the trees.
ReplyDeleteAnn, I bet your sketch books are a thing of beauty. You work with such flow and purpose, a magnificent gift. Not only are your individual pieces beautiful, you create the whole.
ReplyDeleteI love both of these!
The light seems to shine out of these pages! The trees are beautiful and I love our composition of the flowers across the pages.
ReplyDeletePamo, there are plenty of pages that I will never post! But I do enjoy going back through these sketchbooks just the same.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your kind comments!
Lovely sketchbook pages! I have to say, I'm surprised you have tulips this early. We have lots of them everywhere, but then I don't have your climate!
