Sunday Sketchbook Journal

It was very grey and murky on Sunday morning so I took our dog out early to beat the impending rain. But it was so mild and peaceful that I grabbed my coffee and sketchbook and settled in on the patio when we got back.

After so many windy days the still air felt so calming. The only movement were a handful of leaves softly floating down from the trees. The only sound was a sigh of contentment from my little dog as he curled up against my leg.

I sketched in pencil then added the ink. Feeling the beauty of the moment, and grateful for it.

This morning I added watercolor and took a big step out of my comfort zone - making a video of the painting process. Trying out my new gear that clamps to the table and holds a ring light and my phone. It was more fun than I expected! And I learned that our kitchen island is too reflective for these videos.
