I have a bird's nest given to me by a friend who cut the entire branch so the nest would stay intact. So much fun using line and tone with this! I usually let the first drawing on a page dictate what the rest of the drawings on the page will be. If I do a series of three, want to guess where I'm going with this?
I drove to our Cinema in town where I know that the entire parking lot is ablaze with red trees. Beautiful to look at, but not quite what I wanted after all. Then I came around the corner and there in all its glory was a white dumpster, a yellow fire hydrant and above all, a group of trees showing all the fall colors!
It had rained earlier and the colors reflected for a while in the puddles and wet pavement. Perfect!
I didn't know you had been holding out on color for these two weeks -- I figured you were doing color on the side! I've been sneaking in color all along. ;-) Your fallscape was worth waiting for!

Well, I did have color to play with in my weekly classes, but not in my personal sketches. You are actually still using ink, I think. So it still qualifies for Inktober. (I think anything goes, really.)
DeleteThank you very much for your kind words regarding my fallscape. :) It was a relief to immerse myself into color.
Lovely sketch!!! I can't hold off from the color either. I just make sure I do one in ink...and usually leave it. lol
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joan. Good to know someone besides me feels the pain.....and is driven to overachieve! lol
DeleteYour ink work is beautiful. But I love your watercolor sketches the most.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kate. Your kind words are much appreciated.
