A Couple More Thoughts on Green and Flat Brushes
I wanted to show another green-based watercolor I worked on last year while I was testing the Hahnemühle Watercolor Sketchbook.

I went in with round brushes […]
A Look at My Sketching Set Up for International Fake Journal Month
While working on image 30 on April 30, 2017 for this year’s International Fake Journal Month Journal I thought it would be fun to take couple photos of my sketching set up to include in my project. Last week, while trying to make the gallery of images work I forgot to add the set up […]
