Our San Diego SketchCrawl group met today at Summers Past Farms out east on highway 8. We had a group of 14 or so, including my husb. I did these flowers on a Moleskine page that I prepared yesterday. (Adhered a page from a book with matte medium, then lightly coated the page with absorbent ground.)

ReplyDeletejust found you via artunraveled. i'm in yuma, az, and have been to summers past many times. love it! must dig into your site some more, & might consider heading to phx in august for one of your classes.
ReplyDeleteso glad i found you!
Jane you are amazing! You and Melly have inspired me so much.
ReplyDeleteI did my first watercolor sketch today! Pete pushed me to sketch something in my house. You see I broke my big toe two days ago and can't wander to sketch my cacti. So I was postponing my sketching but Pete said to just do anything in the house and since I got a new Apple laptop - I sketched plastic apples - LOL. Thanks so much for your posts. They truly have inspired me.
Muah,

Ooh, I would like to do some sketching outside!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link for this absorbent ground. I never heard about it, sounds interesting!
May I ask you about your date on the picture? Why have you dated it as June 30?
Lovely page Jane - very lively. Is this a Moleskine Sketchbook, or Watercolour book? Also I'm curious about the absorbant ground, do you find this helps?
ReplyDeletethanks for the kind words everyone! Gill, it's a watercolor Moleskine. I used the absorbant ground on the page from the book that I glued down because 1) I wanted to fade out the text and images 2) so the page would take watercolor paints.
ReplyDeleteI love the ghost images and words behind this. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteAwesome sketch, Jane! The book page adds so much, too.
ReplyDeleteI must get some of that absorbent ground! Sounds amazing and looks great!
