I have not forgotten about my Ink & Marker art work, but boy color is sure pretty.  Here is another Ink & Wash watercolor I did from our trip through Germany.  So many options for subject matter out there.  The old buildings, rivers, hills and history.  We just loved it. Everything is in stone and timber.  Lots and lots of old stonework in the small villages next to the rivers.   I'm working on more watercolors and see where they lead me.  I know that I need to practice, practice and practice some more to keep getting better.   I just love these little 5 x 7 watercolor format, but I need to try some 8 x 10s as well and see how they turn out. Well it almost Christmas time here and the temps are getting colder with the latest front passing through.  More time for artwork as playtime outside is limited by how much I want to stand the lower temperatures. One thing that keeps me going is the PadCast of "Ask An Artist".  I've been listening to it now for a couple of

I'm getting better at it (or at least I think I am). There are many different styles of watercolor painting and I've been looking at many of them, trying, just tying to get something that I like and turns out I can do. The style I really like is the "Ink & Wash" style of painting where an ink drawing is filled out with watercolor.  My latest turned out pretty good and I'm looking forward to giving my hand another go.  I took a bunch of photos from Bobbie & my river trip in Europe this fall so I've got a number of subjects to draw (sorry about the pun) from. I've been busy with other things for a while as I've had a number of AT hikes to get done (in PA now), an island trip and then the big EU  river trip where we ended up getting a tad of COVID.  Now winter is here I have fewer fly fishing outings and more indoors time to get some artwork done.  Also, the PodCase "Ask An Artist" has new Episodes too.   Till later....
