Totally perfect teenage tree, I have seen that look on my kiddos eyes when they were teenagers. Now they are raising teenagers. Life is good and so are my teenage grandchildren. Very good job.
-
Thank you, Brenda! I was hoping this would resonate with everyone who’s dealt with teen-agers. Especially those of us who used to be one, lol.
-
-
Oh my gosh again – Sandra that is delightful. What an awesome awesome sapling and yes … lol … just like a teenager :). Thank you so much for sharing what you used … lol I don’t even know what a technical pen is. I’ll have to look it up .. lol.
-
Thank you, Zoie! There are lots of different kinds of technical pen. Generally, it means it has a rigid, straight nib with a slightly rounded end. They can be made of metal, plastic or fiber. The ones I use most often are fiber-tipped in .08, .05, .03, and .01 sizes. I use the Zebra pen brand, but other good ones of this kind include Pigma…[Read more]
-
Thank you so much Sandra 😊. Can you tell me when gouache is used?
-
Gouache is a watercolor but formulated to be opaque and has a flatter, more velvety appearance (though many brands of gouache these days have more shine). You can use them for washes like traditional watercolor, but they are more commonly used like acrylic – just enough water to give them a consistency of heavy cream. You can paint light colors…[Read more]

Well sketching inside currently due to temperatures and lockdown again. But documenting and drawing family members is also considered urban sketching imho.

Whoa this is fantastic! What a wonderful imagination you have, Sandra 😃
