American artists seem to favor flat bristle brushes for watercolor, a preference which I've never quite understood. I am a fan of fat round brushes that can hold a lot of water. This artist is using a round brush and I think it's working great...

This is an early morning sketch (not that I like sketching early in the morning, it's just that my baby likes to wake up and shine early...). Somebody could invest in waterproof pens, eh?
Hi, and welcome to my mole skin
in sketchbook
I got a Moleskine watercolor sketchbook for Christmas and now I'm back to regular sketching ( I hope :). This is from today: Tried toning the paper before drawing on it and I do like the result! I think it could work on a larger scale, too. Back to Christmas and sketching: my present for my younger brother was the "Illustrated Life" by Danny Gregory. I think I was more excited about this book than he was! It is very interesting to both read and look at the pages of someone else's sketchbook. Do check it out.
