Sketches by Suzy 'Pal' Powell

I love to draw and sketch, and have kept sketchbooks for years! This blog is strictly for my sketches past and present...There is nothing quite like finishing a sketchbook and look back through it and remember all the fun things that I got to sketch! Or filling a sketchbook from a trip. Or just sharing your sketchbooks. It is like your own visual diary. If you are interested in getting updates, to to the right side bar and add your email address. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Church Repair Sketch

I was coming home the other day, and in Ropes, TX 2 men were working on this beautiful Steeple.

I didn't have my good camera and I was so upset! I used my phone and shot what I could. Hopefully I can work from the 'not so good' photo!

THe bottom one is a Santa Fe Sketch with stablo pen i used to draw it with.

September 4th Sketches for paintings

Two New sketches today for the 30 day challenge I am doing right now. Paint 30 paintings in 30 days! I am going to try for 30 paintings from Santa Fe, NM.
This is Day 4 and 5 value Study using tombow markers. The one on the bottom is done with a gray one, and the top with black. Then using some water to get the softer and mid tone. I love using these markers.
