Quince and paper
I seem to be obsessed with the stem of flowering quince I picked up on a walk last week. It's a beautiful bush, unfortunately not mine, and has enough interest and variation that it's fun to draw and paint.
For the record, I found the almost perfect sketch book for my visual journaling. Pentalic produces an 8-1/2 x 11 inch spiral book that I bought at Dick Blick. It's called "Nature Sketch" and has great paper - 130# that works well with everything. I've used Crayola crayons and watercolor, charcoal, ink and pencil, everything but pastels and markers but am certain they would work too. I forget how much it cost but recall that it was quite affordable, about $10 for a 50 sheet book. I use both sides so get 100 pages with no leaks or bleed through at all.
I'm trying to fill one book every three months so am glad I ordered two. Hopefully I'll need almost four a year.
