Street Scene
I wish I knew where I obtained this image… I know it is a friend’s but I just don’t know whose! Bad on me for not labeling! Direct watercolor, done quickly. ☾ To hear about classes, follow me on Instagram, … Continue reading

USk: NW Portland USPS

VSW: Berlin, 2, Direct Watercolor
As a lover of inky lines, the class in direct watercolor changed me. I LOVED creating this very fast watercolor by diving in, no planning. I wish I had a bit more foresight about placement, (the image was crowded to … Continue reading

New month, new walk for the Virtual Sketchwalk group on FaceBook. Berlin is our city this month, with contributions from two photographers, Rich Matheson and Eli Weisz. I played fast and loose with this sketch using a Sailor Fude pen. … Continue reading

VSW: Sheree’s Naners
This post is about taking a sketch to a finished watercolor, or an idea to a commissioned piece. Sheree, a friend from high school, posted a photo of her banana tree, above left. I was intrigued by the color, especially … Continue reading

Sherre’s Posies
A high school friend has a lovely garden and one of her images caught me… I didn’t do it justice and might try again! I LOVE my sketch — and here is the secret, that I love line work. But … Continue reading
Recipes: Ritual
I enjoy writing our recipes in my Khadi Journal, though it will never be a favorite journal (more on that at the bottom). I have my journal when cooking; I make notes and sketch. I placed Ganesha, my favorite Hindu … Continue reading

30 Posies: Sunflowers Field
I may be a bit obsessed with sunflowers. This one is a much more typical Oregon field, with big green trees in the background… Oddly, however, I think I went back to my So Cal days and thought of the … Continue reading

PS: Even More Thinking… Testing… and Memories
My Nostalgie sketchbook really is a testing ground. If something works a bit on the smooth sketch paper then I will try it out in one of my watercolor journals. Someday this will be a nice memory of Mitchell and … Continue reading

Recipes: Tacos
We buy a side of beef from local ranchers, and this means we get a lot of grand beef. I’ve never done much with it but finally, I am loving our Taco Nights! Sauteed diced red onions and browned beef … Continue reading

30 Posies: Nasturtiums
As kids, we called them Nasty-ursums and thought that hilarious. Kids are pretty goofy. Detail below. Sometimes I like the sketch better without watercolor, and this is one of those times. Full watercolor below. This 8×8 Hand Book Journal … Continue reading
