As promised, my unfinished watercolor from Door County. I just applied paint to the page without doing a base sketch, and I think it really shows. I'm pleased with what I dabbed on the page, however, and it brings the scene quite clearly back to mind.
While I was flipping the pages of the sketchbook, I ran across these taped-in figure drawings. I'd grabbed a small stack of copy paper and a charcoal one evening and went to town drawing from the tv. There was a whole lot of really awful stuff on the pages when I finished, but these were a few of the better bits. It was nice to be able to hack them out of the muck and get rid of the really bad stuff.

Your water colors are developing a nice flow, Nan and I'm impressed with your charcoal sketches!
