Sunday Sketching


Today I concentrated on the woman's parka a few rows in front of me. The hood had a beaver and wolf ruff; the beaver is the rich brownish/red. Her hair was almost identical in color to the beaver fur, but I guess I didn't capture that quite as well. I used my watercolors pencils to color it once I got home and actually experimented with using water this time. I love the way it spreads the paint, it's a little more controlled than just using watercolors.

I have some WC pencils and I have never really been satisfied with them. This reminds me that I should get them out and use them more. Maybe I would like them. I like this sketch.

I like the use of colors. I didn't wear a jacket today as it got up to 38!

I like your ruff. You know now that I'm thinking about it, I've never seen a fur coat in WI. Is that unusual or what?
