The day before class, I took my photographer husband on a hike with his Nikon D200 and pointed out scenes of interest I wanted reference images of. He supplied me with a collection of great photos to send to my students.
The day of class, my students and I warmed up with contour drawings of these Hawkweed flowers and one little native bee perched on a blossom. Later, I completed this quick sketch in my nature journal. I love the contrast of bright colors and defining black lines.
This post marks 100 in my blog to date. Thanks for following along with me on my art explorations!
