drafting tape

I went out looking to so some plein car sketching today, but no luck. I couldn't get inspired.

 

Luckily, though, I'd been inspired to try some still life work by the nice stuff in floodfish's stream (and website). So I sat down tonight to get the painting monkey off my back by doing some still life work.

 

My intention was to try to use chinese white to simulate gouache, but that didn't work out as planned.

 

Sketched in black prismacolor, with manganese blue and raw sienna with touches of chinese white and payne's gray watercolor in a large watercolor Moleskine.
