I loved the coloured pencil class with Sketchbook Skool and yesterday I drove to Waubaushene Ontario ( a village on Georgian Bay.) Georgian Bay is part of the Great Lakes system. I took a walk out to the end of the dock to sketch. There was a brisk wind blowing off the bay, few were out on the rough water. I sat with my back to the wind and used my pencil crayons to draw. I bought a small tin of 12 Derwent “lightfast” pencil crayons (which is still quite expensive per pencil at over $2 each). I’m not a fan of their choice of colours in this tin but I just made them work. The wind was blowing so hard it brought those dark clouds overhead so quickly I was sure that it would rain before I got back to the car. Thankfully, it didn’t. This morning I applied watercolour.
I like my results and the memory it evokes of time well spent. In my hand bound sketchbook with Strathmore Aquarius II watercolour paper.
