Preparing for the moment
Our family is a bit at odds after Younger Daughter's surgery on Friday. She's doing well, but we've been checking on her during the night and she's needed extra help moving around. So we're all tired, sleeping at odd hours and generally off kilter. But it's a holiday weekend and nobody has to get anywhere or do anything so it's all okay.
I finished reading a wonderful book by Anna Quindlen, one of my favorite authors. It's the quintessential New York novel, taking in so many emotional details of the people who live there. I lived in NYC in the '60s, eons ago, and a lot of the experience was lost on me, but some came back by reading RISE AND SHINE. It's a novel of relationships and atmosphere with enough twists and changes to keep the pages turning.
Is that done with watercolour pencils??? If so then I'm impressed!! I've never managed to make them behave. Lovely drawing.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like you're having a very tiring time at the moment - do try to take care of yourself while you're running around taking care of your daughter. Hope things get easier soon.

Hi Rachel -- Thanks for looking. Yes, I almost always use watercolor pencils. I usually apply the color, then go over it with a waterbrush or wet brush. Then I take a little bit of color from the tip of the pencil to add more intense color where it's needed. I know if that's a good technique or not, but that's what I've been doing. I use good watercolor paper too.
