a mini hike

Yesterday as I waited during Bill’s appointment with the hygienist, I painted a quick sketch in my old mini (2”) sketchbook using gouache thinly as watercolor. I used an old photo saved on my phone but made a bit up as well. Things seemed to go fine — until I added the people. My brush tip was too large, the paint too dark, proportions all wrong . . .

  1. With the mountains in the background, you should have just made the people fatter with winter puffy coats on. I admire your talent for painting anything this tiny.

    1. That’s a great idea! I tend to be too literal when I sketch and this photo of my son-in-law and granddaughter was taken in the summer.
