House Sketch



This drawing is no great shakes but I did learn a lot by drawing it. Done entirely in Painter and mostly with the real 2B pencil and bucket fill tool. I really like that pencil!

Colors in Winter



Winter changes the color palette around here. More whites and grays and browns. When you do find color, it pops. Such was the case with this snow plow in front of this church. The orange plow was so brilliant surrounded by all the muted and less saturated colors around it.

Harbor Ducks




This morning I walked down to the harbor with my camera and sketchbook. A beautiful day - crisp new snow and blue skies.

In Painter 11 now, I'm just learning about brushes and messing around.
