September 2011: Sketching while Waiting

September 2011: Sketching while Waiting, a photo by apple-pine on Flickr.

I am not always comfortable drawing in unsuspecting crowd so I decided to use the simplest of tools - ballpoint pen. It's less of a give-away than watercolor set or my dip pen and I can put it away quickly ;)

Changing continent = changing palette?

I just returned from a trip to Europe and all the colors look different to me at home. Perhaps it's time to change a few colors in my palette? Or it will pass as I adjust to bright sun?

Sunburn

...was only one result of our recent trip to California. Still hacking and coughing, still tired...but I've documented everything from cat bites to injured knees to allergic reactions, why not a garden-variety sunburn?
