september art log

Themes for the month: crayons and mammals. On the first day of September, I swung by Blick and the Neocolor 2s were ON SALE so I snagged six of them. (HGR: “That’s how they get you.”) Going to call them “watercolor crayons” to distinguish them from my Crayolas.

• Sept 1-2: Watercolor crayon sketch of trees (with white blossoms in BPW), a bunny, and a moon. Inaugural pic with my Neocolor 2s.
• Sept 2: Watercolor + pen + watercolor crayon. A variety of animal busts (terrier, bear, otter, cat, various rodents, weird deer) sketched atop a loose watercolor wash (phthalo turquoise & lemon yellow).
• Sept 3: Pen sketches of trees. Inspired by a Zack Feldman vid.
• Sept 4: Full-page crayon sketch of a bonsai-esque world tree.
