Can you see the little mini self-portrait hidden in this drawing?
I'm participating in the Penticton En Plein Aire event again this year. It's tomorrow. Last year I got there and all the other artists showed up with half finished paintings. This year I'm being smarter. I went out to the site I'll be painting at (Elephant Island) and took some photos. I mapped them out last night onto watercolour paper in a sort of a storyboard layout, and will just do the painting part on site.

I feel like a lurker, always enjoying these sketches and never leaving a comment to say so. Love it!
What a fun idea to do "coloring book pages like that"! I sometimes don't want to color and paint my pages because I like the line drawings so much - maybe I should follow your lead on this idea.
I like seeing your sketches, very colorful and alive and fun! Well done!
Thanks, nice to know you're out there!
And yes, Johanna, I feel that way lots of times after doing the line drawings, like I don't want to 'ruin' them. Now when you scan them half way through you get to keep both! I'm doing a piece I have to give away for a fund raiser this weekend, and by scanning the line drawing, I'll be able to keep it and paint another version for myself too.
What a nice and funny story of your engagement....wonderful memory to record in your sketch journal. Great sketch too! I also like how you do the colouring book pages. :)
Congratulations ! I really like the way you incorporate text and story into your drawings. Beautiful.
