A fun sketch. In 1973 my husband and I went on a mission trip to Tuxla Mexico. We brought this little toy back for our son who was just 3 at the time. I put yellow and white casein down first, then painted with gouache.
This old building is the Feed Store I painted previously. This is the other side. This one also had an under-painting of casein. I dearly love these old buildings. They are our past!
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.

Corners of Home
I am doing the Sketchbook Skool class, and one of the lessons was draw squares on your page, and fill it with little spots in your house. I had so much fun with these. My furniture outgrew the squares though! is hard to draw that small, but so enjoyable. Probably a little cartoony! I plan on doing some more!

New Sketches
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.

Kenyon and Cash
This is a quick sketch of our grandson, Kenyon and his dog Cash. He loves his dog so much! They pretty much stay together. They are so cute together. (of course)

March 14
This man was drawn from Sktchy. It is an app that has people to draw. I want to learn to draw people fast. May take a while!
This girl was in a Magazine. I just used her for the practice.

#oneweek100people2017
I am mad at myself that I didn't make the 100 people in 5 days! After messing up the first two days, I couldn't catch up!
But I have the last day done. Next time I will number each one and try to be more organized! HA!

Day 4-#oneweek100people2017
Getting 20 done in a day is not an easy task! I still am not getting a likeness in most of them. There are a couple that I did. I am just going through pictures that I have taken and drawn them, since there is no place here to go and watch people!
