QoR Modern Watercolors by Golden. Pronounced “core.” Before getting into the paint of the post, I want to share something that I was inspired by- Guest Doodlewasher Larry Marshall posted on his blog on September 26, 2016 that he has been sketching now for five years.

For today’s post, we have more food, but this time it’s actually not a French pastry so that’s something different at least. Instead, we have a doodlewash of some fresh oysters we picked up this morning at a fresh market in Paris. I’m going to just admit that I’m completely in love with food and so…

Today was really busy, and although I had plans to take a walk to find something to sketch, the only little bit of time I had available was in between plans. Not to be discouraged, I simply stepped outside the front door of the apartment we’ve rented for the trip and sketched what I saw. If you…

Running extraordinarily behind tonight as this is the day before I head to France. After looking at today’s prompt of “camera” my mind immediately went back to the days when I first started taking photos. So we have this 2-color quickie doodlewash of a film cannister. When you were traveling back then, you never quite…

Going to a large amusement park full of roller coasters was rare when I was little. Though I do remember going to country fairs quite a lot to ride those tinier rides. The ones that arrived the day before on a truck and looked like they’d been hot glued together just for the occasion. As kids,…
