Sketching with a fountain pen

Sitting in a meeting yesterday, I sketched the speaker across the room. Palm behind her.

When I was done, I wet my finger and smeared the shadows in. She was far away, so I couldn't catch the details.

This morning, waiting for my friend at a coffee shop, I sketched the man at the next table. He read the paper, sat for a half hour, and left. I found eye shadow in my purse and filled in his skintone.

 

When I got home, I brushed on color (W&N artist colors).

Praying in paint

Our pastor challenged us to pray 10 things for 10 minutes. One day, I journaled my prayers in watercolor:

My prayer of 10

Praise be to the Creator!
Forgive us our sins
Do the impossible, what only You can do

Make us mindful
Help us to replicate what is good
To model eye-to-eye

Bring those who need you to yourself
With hearts soft and open

Change our attitudes from darkness to light
And let us live and move in concert with You
