I am working through Linda Kemp's book watercolor painting outside the lines
I didn't think that this particular attempt was going to work at first and although I would do a few things differently the next time I'm actually pretty pleased with the results
The paper is Arches 140#. The paints are Graham Cerulean Blue Deep, Azo Green and Daniel Smith Raw Sienna.
This blog is really a journal of my journey into the world of art. I have no formal art training and have not done much more than doodle since I was a kid. But I am learning that art is an important aspect that has been missing from my life. Thanks to some wonderful extremely artistic friends in the fountain pen world and on Twitter I have begun this journey - thanks, Mia, for insisting that everyone is an artist!

Sketchbook pages
I have been working my way through Alisa Burke's online class, SketchBook Delight, and am learning SO much (I'm also taking her Watercolor Bliss online class).
I have been practicing my line work and drawing objects on my desk and thought that I would share a few of my pages.
I used Pentel color markers, fountain pen ink and black watercolor.

On going art journey
I have signed up for Alisa Burke's Sketchbook Delight Online class - the actual class ended some time ago, but that is the beauty of virtual learning, it is still there for me to access.
I am still working my way through Lesson 1, which is really just testing out all the media. This exercise has been very good for me - it helps be learn what I like, what works and what doesn't. As someone with NO formal art training since grade school, this is very important.
So - here is my sketchbook so far.
