Hey y’all!
I hope you are all doing well and dandy today! I just wanted to pop in briefly to talk about one of the ongoing sketchbook prompts I’ve been working on.
Not every morning, but frequently, I’ve been sitting outside- typically on my deck in the backyard- to watch the sunrise. I’ve got my coffee and my paints (gouache- I’ve been determined to get a better handle on gouache). I paint the trees, the sunrise peeking through the trees, or anything else that looks interesting. Sometimes I get bored sitting in the same spot, so I try to find somewhere different to set up. (One day I will have a fancy sketch easel so I can stand anywhere and paint!) These paintings are quick, because not only does the light change so rapidly at sunrise, but also because I have kids who, at some point, wander outside to find me and ask for breakfast. Or it’s time to go inside for our Bible reading time, or something like that. Here are some examples of my work.
