from my sketchbook ~ winery visit

from my sketchbook ~ by Jane LaFazio

Husb and I sketch together

Husb and I went over to Bernardo Winery to hear the free Jazz concert and do a little sketching. Oh, oh yeah, it's a winery, so why not a glass of wine too.

I did all the ink drawings first, straight to ink, no pencil first

Then I sketched the vine, in water soluble pencil right over the ink drawings. (I didn't mean to have it centered, but oh well. It's a sketchbook!)

When I got home, I knew the page needed something else, so I tried something new. I drew circles in pencil, on the background, then filled them in with different shades of green, in watercolor.


Not the most successful page in the world, but the concept is a good one, and I'll pursue it.

not sure how Buddy feels about it.
