Pentalic Aqua Journal - Part II


 Here are two of my finals sketches in the Pentalic watercolour sketchbook. The above is of swamp milkweed that is already forming its seed pods.

I can't say I like the paper in this book any better than I did at the beginning. However I learned how to deal with its limitations. Now I'm on to another sketchbook that I made for myself out of paper that was lingering in my sketchbook cupboard. I'll let you know more about this as soon as I have made my first sketches.

Below is a preliminary sketch I completed of a little geranium that is trying hard to grow. It is getting a blossom now so I have high hopes for this flower that got crowded out of a big pot by other plants. I transplanted it into a smaller pot that I will keep indoors over the winter.

These drawings were made with a Copic Multiliner pen and coloured with watercolour pencil.

  2. Coming soon, the flower is starting to emerge. Our weather has been so cool this past few days that things have really slowed up in the garden.
