New in my sketchbook....

 

The other day I bought 2 new sketchbooks - one for pencil sketches (I want to work on my drawing skills - got a 4B and 8B pencil to start with) and another for watercolour.  How in love am I with the watercolour sketchbook!  It's Arches' 'Travel Book' - 6 x 10 inch cold pressed 140lbs (300g/m2) .  The way the paint slides onto the paper is heavenly!

Everyday objects

I'm now working on the Sketchbook Challenge.  The theme for August is "Everyday objects".  I've started with something that has very much become an everyday object for me - my paintbox!

And a little realism in the form of a homegrown pear......
