Some sketches done from life instead of photos. [View all]

Had hubby drop me off so I could find something that I could do as a quick sketch. Settled on this gorgeous tree in front of a B&B. He turned up early and I felt like a game show contestant racing to get all the prizes. LOL I know he wasn't drumming his fingers on the steering wheel, but I still felt like it. Accuracy went right out the window.

Long story still long, I'm just not loving water brushes, and I would have done this sketch differently with more time or from the photo at home. I don't feel I caught the feeling of the place or the awesome quirkiness of the tree. But, I did it all on the spot, wind blowing everything away. 😛 So, yay me!

Barncastle. Blue Hill, ME. Strathmore MM journal, Micron pen, mostly DS paints
