Strathmore Workshop, wk. 1

I'm one of a HUGE number (class enrollment is 2,665!) taking Cathy 'Kate' Johnson's free watercolor sketching class on Strathmore's Online Workshop website.

One of the first week's projects: a sketch done with a water-soluble pen with a variegated wash background. I had to take my car in to check out a windshield leak --- Not knowing how long it might take, I took my sketchbook along and drew the plant in the waiting room. Color was added later at home, letting the colors mingle together freely.
