woyww - sketch and w/c

Another page in my journal of a landscape which is really just an exercise of the wet on wet technique.  On the left are notes from a Saturday sketching workshop that I did with Liz Steel.  It was held in the Rocks area of Sydney and was a great introduction to sketching buildings and doing quick watercolours.  You can see from the pic my struggle with stairs and my beginner stages of sketching.
Final pic is of the watercolour version.


Check out Liz's website and you will get a feel for her wonderful work and lots of pics of the urban sketcher groups she is part of in OZ and overseas.  She was a very friendly teacher  who was so giving of her time/suggestions.  I am sure I will be back for more classes.

Now I am off to join in on woyww.....

    I really would like to try water colours - I just get too hooked on fabrics when I am crafting! That doorway is looking good x Jo #60

    I love that I am not the only person whose desk is looking at a wall. I see all of these desks, facing a window each week and I think I'm the only one not looking at the window!
    Your journal and watercolor are fabulous!

    Simply going out to draw and paint can be the greatest fun! But also teeth gnashingly frustrating when the perspective just won't happen...I remember it well :-). But you look as if you've grasped it already, you've got a good eye!! lol
    Hugs, LLJ xx
