Great cover Suzanna.  I like the contrast. Solid work.

Watercolor sketching

I'm putting together a sketchbook with 3 kinds of paper for people to experiment with and tips and techniques for watercolor sketching. Hope to have it ready by Vashon Island Studio Tour, the first two weekends in Dec. Here's the cover:













and here's a sketch from a couple of years ago that I rather like. They don't look like they were done by the same person!


Yay, Ginger! Keep up the sketching! You have a nice....um...voice? I mean, your style.

Found this Cispis sketch from earlier this summer and here are two recent sketches.

I love the work you both have posted.  Super!  I don't know about posting on Facebook--this is up and running already.  No new technology to assimilate.  In both cases we just have to do it.

Anyway here are a couple more from my trip...

Derwent watercolor pencil and ball point pen

I am posting daily on my blog,  http://suzannaleigh.net/  and often on my facebook page, but rarely here.

Pen and watercolor gesture

 I wonder if we did this as a facebook group if we would post more often?

Doodling on the ferry

I've been doing either a sketch or a small watercolor--or at least a doodle--every day. It's paying off. My drawing and painting skills are improving.

I've been posting most of them on my blog but forgetting to post here. I think I'm getting in tune for painting every day in November, just not in the right format for the organized 30 x 30.

Estuary at KVI--illustrating watercolor techniques

I'm planning to publish a watercolor sketch book with paper to paint on and tips on watercolor painting. This little watercolor illustrates some of the tips.

Whew! Finally I'm able to post on our blog! Here is some of my recent work for the book "Sleep Baby Sleep".
