Orange you glad?

I was struggling to get this to actually look like an orange. I'm not sure if I accomplished that, but Ethan really wanted to eat the orange, so I decided to call it done. :)

A speedy sketch

A 5 minute sketch before I left the office this evening

A gorgeous spring day

I spent most of the day outside today. There was an outdoor art show right up the street in my neighbohood. I ran into to friends, had lunch, and spent a couple hours sketching outside. There was really so much to see it was overwhelming, so I just decided to sketch this lamp post... I sketched it in pen, so no erasing allowed.. finished it with water color pencils and blended with the water brush.. Loads of imperfections, but I like the feeling of it.

I just started this online class called SketchBook Skool, and it is encouraging me to start sketching, drawing and journaling again. So after a long absence I will start posting to my poor neglected sketch blog again... :)
