Little
Kandee
Today
it was very hot like 98 degrees and we went out early to the Farmer's
Market in Denton. Great place to visit early on a Saturday morning as
you can buy lots of fresh veggies there. Then after we came home I
did some outside watering and then had lunch.
I had
been meaning to get up to my studio but I had forgotten to put the
air conditioner on in there . If I don't do that the watercolor never
keeps damp enough and neither do I.
So
instead I decided to try again to do a sketch with water color
pencils and do it indoors in my living room. Much more comfortable.
I looked at some of my photos and saw one of little Kandee, a very
tiny chihuahua mix. This is a very cute dog that my friend recently
adopted from a shelter. I thought this would be a good practice to
draw the fur and then add water to make the colors after which I did.
The advantage with using the pencils is that you have lots more
control. The disadvantage is color mixing is more difficult. I was
pleased with the attempt but will probably do a painting as well to
see if I can do better.
The
pencils are fun to use especially on a hot day.
Makes
a change from using the computer.
