Some of the inhabitants of the farm.
They raise miniature donkeys at the farm and they were so cute!
These sketches are in a handmade journal and it's falling apart. I guess it wasn't made to take the abuse my sketchbooks get. The paper is lovely to paint on but it bleeds through to the next page so I've decided to paint on every other spread and when I'm done, glue the blank pages together. That way I not only get rid of the bleed-through problem, but also finish the book faster so I can move on to a better one. I'm going back to the tried and true Moleskines.
It's ideal for me. Nice illustration.

ReplyDeleteGreat sketches and lovely memories Paula! and I agree about the Moleskine, nothing better!
ReplyDeleteWow Paula I love this one!!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. It was a fun day--and we've been invited to come back to sketch there anytime. Kate, the Ball jar was done with your favorite indigo watercolor pencil. It was perfect for this sketch. thanks for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteIt really worked for you! You made me miss my chickens, too...and now I want to go back out to Watkins Mill and sketch their heirloom chickens!
