How I created my page:

I started this sketch in pencil on the 18th.. but due to illness was not able to finish it till this morning.  It’s a couple of apartment buildings down near the beach.. and an outbuilding behind the green one.

First step – Pencil Sketch.  I roughed in the shape of the buildings while on site.

Second step – Color Watercolor – used my watercolors to put in loose colors with a waterbrush Neocolor – went back with neocolors picked up on my brush to add more depth Ink – used my new ball point pen --- uniball signo 207 --- to outline and add detail. The good thing about these pens is that they are waterproof.. yep, I can draw with the pen and then paint over them.. AND they are refillable.  Sweet.

Third step – Journaling Block Box – drew the box with the pen and wrote did the journaling Color – used neocolors to add color over and around the journaling

 

Someone I saw online included the weather info in their date and journaling and I thought that was spiffy.   I’m sorry I can’t remember who it was, but I think I told you I was going to steal that from you and have to give you credit.  Please let me know if that was you so I can properly credit you as the first person I saw do this.

 

Supplies Used Today:

• waterbrush - I’ve worn mine out.. time to get a new one
• artists' watercolor field box set
• neocolor II water-soluble crayons

 

A Word from Tee:

I’ve been ill.. no I can’t tell you what the problem is because I can’t go to the doctor yet.  It is getting better and I’m so thankful for that.  Maybe I picked up a bug on my virtual vacation.  *wink* 

Anyway… we are still going to move on in that trip.. and I have a fun little project planned for New Orleans.  Where did you all go what did you work on while I was away.. falling down literally and figuratively?
