Recent Sketches

Two coot hurrying across the water.  It looks as if they can walk on water.

I love watching and sketching coot.  Such busy birds.  And if you can see their feet, they are greenish with lobes running down each toe!

More field sketches.  This time of a raven, a sleepy Canada goose and a black phoebe chasing a fly.

  1. Love your sketches! I am brand new at trying to learn how to sketch--what type of pen do you use?

    1. Glad to help. The sketches in this post are black ball point pen.

      In March 2011 I posted two blog posts on pens on my blog: www.elvafieldnotes.blogspot.com. I still sketch with Micron pens, ball point pens, Uniball and fountain pens. My fountain pens are cherished tools but the others do just fine too.
