I am taking one of the Sketchbook skool classes, and the lesson was on Cross hatching. I didn't do too many on this old building but it's mainly for shadow and shapes. I did it in ink, and took a photo, then I decided to put color on it. I love color! The Cafe is an old building on the way to Carlsbad NM. I had to turn around and go back for a picture! For this little painting I did a different technique. I painted the page with yellow and white casein. Then I drew with pencil after it dried, and painted it with watercolor and some gouache.
It was a fun piece to do.
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.
