The 20 Minute Challenge

A quick sketch...just the perfect thing to do on a rainy evening in central Florida! As you can see from yesterday's post there is a place now to post these little sketches. It's really fun to see them!

This was done with pen and some watercolors. (no graphite).

We are all packed...we leave to head to West Chicago tomorrow...so any posts to my blog won't have photos for the next 10 days.

We usually take 3 days and two nights heading north as we like to relax, stop before dark, and sometimes stop along the way if we see something interesting. Hopefully we won't have rain or anything worse along the way. I will have my usual travel journals with me...although it won't be as easy to be outside in November!!! So they may be "interior" sketches!

I wish all of faithful blogger buddies a wonderful Thanksgiving. Be safe and stay well. I'll be reading your blogs along the way...a fun thing to do in the motel in the early morning.

OH OH...I wanted to add that those of you reading Barb Sailor's blog she has found a really interesting watercolor texture technique by Gwen Bragg. Just click on Gwen's name and go to the video to watch it. If you like texture in watercolor...here's a very interesting one. She does not say what paper she is using...but maybe we can find out on her website somewhere. She is working on a sheet of acrylic but I'll bet you might be able to get this on smooth gator board too.
