| 1/21/16 rainbow and water-soluble colored pencils |
Rain poured down my hood and bounced off my now-waterproof Rickshaw bag as I dashed
into the Burke Museum. I had just
dropped my car off for servicing a few blocks away, and sketching at the Burke
was my favorite way to kill the wait time.
Now that I’ve finished sketching all the complete skeletons
on exhibit, I’m re-sketching some of my favorites using different media (see, this is another reason I need to keep mixing up the media!). The Hoplophoneus was one of the first I sketched nearly three years ago. Today
I decided to give the 25-million-year-old forest cat a little color with a
rainbow pencil. (It’s difficult to shade with, but it sure is fun.)
Nearby in the same exhibit is the sabertooth, which I sketched last spring in ink. Today I used water-soluble
colored pencils. I was still finishing up when I got a call from the Mazda service
department saying my car was ready. Darn – I could have easily killed a few
more hours re-sketching skeletons.

That was definitely a good place to wait for your car. I like these, especially the one with the rainbow pencil!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joan! I never tire of sketching these skeletons.
