I did the pen sketching and added watercolor to one flower, Beautyberry leaf, Hickory leaf and nut - enough for reference when I returned home.
More time was spent doing research and the lettering than sketching! I love the thrill of sketching plein air. But, the fun continues when I hit the field guides. After searching all 3 southeast wildflower field guides in my library, I had to consult the internet for the Bigroot morning-glory. I'm a Wikipedia fan!
You can enlarge the page for the full report :) Thanks for stopping by!
Wow - bounty indeed! Beautiful work, Pam! I agree, plein air is the best, the lines always seem to have a lively and intimate feeling to them. Interesting common name for the morning glory too. I have fond memories of gathering hickory nuts as a child...
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful page, Pam! Did you design it consciously or is the process more intuitive?
ReplyDeleteSecond question, what kind of paper are you working on?
ReplyDeleteI englarged the page and studies it longer than I've done your others. It's wonderfully composed and has lots of information. I just love your blog...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elizabeth! I'm still flying high from my early morning sketch-a-thon :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laure! This is more of an intuitive page - the design gods were with me ;) I'm using Fabriano HP. Sorry this is short.... I'm on my iPod.
Joan, thanks so much! That brings me joy :)
ReplyDeletePam, I, too am a great user of Wikipedia. I use it as a starting out point and always check what it says because I have found a few errors in the information. The internet is wonderful for identification issues.
ReplyDeleteI love your water color sketches. If you ever want a change of scenery, I have a couple guest rooms waiting for you. I would love to see some of your work focused on some of our Ohio Valley hilltop grown treasures.
That is actually a serious invitation.
Thank you, Nellie! Wow, what a treat a visit to your haven would be! I will certainly keep your invitation is mind :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous spread! I really enjoy how you incorporate hand lettering. Great design.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kris!
ReplyDelete...really cool, Pam. Like Laure, I love the layout. Your lettering is always so pretty. Love how you combine tech and art. I need to spend a bit of time reading this one!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kelly. It is a busy page. Lots of goodies. Hope you had a great time in the mountains!
