INKY FINGERS

 I refilled the fountain pen I use every day.  I cannot do this without getting ink on my fingers.  Oh, well.

DAY 11

The prompt for today's #30daysketchbookchallenge is "Wallpapers".

No wallpaper in our house, so I just googled it until I found an image I liked.  There are millions of choices out there.

I used my fountain pen with black ink.  Then used a dip pen for the gold ink.  I mixed white ink with the black to get a grey which I applied with a brush.  Then finished it all off with a watercolor background.

ART DATE 12

 This is an actual date!  Hailey joined me and we did some contour drawing and some blind contour drawings.  Then we put some watercolors on the best ones.  It was fun!

This is mine.

This is Hailey's - isn't it great!

SKETCHES

 I went up to Wallingford this morning to get an injection into my knee.  It will be nice to be a little more pain free for a while.

I sketched while I waited for my appointment.

Then in the afternoon I did a little more sketching of some stuff that came in the mail.  

STILL LIFE - I

 The smoke has finally lessened enough that I could get back to my outside painting of Still Lifes.  

Today's letter is I:

Before all that wonderful stuff above, I was in the studio putting bindings on quilts:

I also made the binding and sewed it onto the back on the Yuki quilt.  I forgot to take pictures though.

BOUQUET

 I put some watercolor on the paper and after it dried I inked in some flowers.
