Last weekend, Our San Diego Sketchcrawl group met at the San Diego Natural History Museum for a sketchcrawl. We met at the skull exhibition. It was a great place to draw!

      Thanks Gill. I sprayed gesso (spray gesso) through a stencil. Then I did a wash of watercolor over the page. And drew on it, with the water soluble pencils.
