Two New Books to be released at Sketcher Fest Edmonds

 Mark your calendar! The public release of my two new photo books on plein air and travel sketching takes place on July 19-21 at Sketcher Fest Edmonds.

I will give a 15 minute presentation with Q&A about my books at the Sunday Sketchbook Fair and Art Market at the Edmonds Waterfront Center on Sunday, July 21 at 12:30pm. Purchased books may be signed upstairs at table #18 throughout the day.

The Sketcher Press Bookstore at Graphite Arts Center will have copies for sale July 19 & 20.

Wooohooo! A package in the mail!

Using my new rubber stamp for the back of handmade postcards

Look what I got in the mail!

We have been doing some handmade postcards in the last series of my watercolor classes and someone knew what I was wishing for! Thank you so much, B. !

As you can see I have been going crazy with my new vintage postcard stamp all morning! These are some postcards that I have been getting ready for a giveaway on my Instagram soon. I am only taking a very brief break to share this with you!

Then back to practicing for my first live broadcast on Periscope! Download the free app today and get signed in so that you will get a notification when I upload my first broadcast!

PS. I like to choose my own watercolor paper so that I get the effect that I'm looking for, instead of just using the purchased  watercolor postcards.

Country Views from an Urban Parking Lot

 

Having a blast painting from the parking lot at Marshall's in Smokey Point. Beautiful day, but a bit chilly. No problem, I sit in my comfy driver's seat in the car, roll down the window and do some quick studies on postcard sized watercolor paper.

My Instagram account is nearing 1500 followers, so I thought I would get ready to show my appreciation by running a giveaway! Make sure you follow me from your phone or tablet!
