| 7/4/13 Platinum Carbon ink, watercolor, Stillman & Birn Alpha sketchbook |
Needing a break from packing and prepping for our trip to
Europe, we took a brief walk through Thornton Creek Channel. When I sketched the channel last month, I took a wide view. This time, I closed in on a
culvert where a small waterfall pours into the channel. In the foreground were
some fuzzy purple flowers that the fat bumblebees really seemed to like.
This walk was my dry run for my Nomadic Wise-Walker messenger bag fully packed with all my Urban Sketching Symposium art materials as well as other travel essentials. I sketched and painted this
standing, with the bag on my shoulder, as I often do. As long as I’m not
tempted to continue filling the bag’s plentiful pockets and compartments, I
think I’ll be fine. (The only thing I took out was the water brush filled with Diamine
Grey ink that I like to use for shading; it wouldn’t fit in my TSA-approved
zip-lock bag.)
Have a safe and happy 4th!
