Cup and Cone White Bear sketch

This fun sketch was done from the Caribou Coffee window in White Bear Lake, MN.  I think this place just celebrated 40 years.  I met my confirmation mentee here to finish his faith statement.  I sketched at the small table as he wrote between our talks so he didn't feel I was watching him write. 

My tools here are Daniel Smith watercolor in my tiny travel kit, Pentel brush pen force fed with Noodlers Lexington grey, and a water pen. I have same kit loaded with Roz Stendhal's Schmincke Horadam gouache palette. I use this small arsenal on about 80% of my out of the studio work these days. 

I love seeing everyone's work!

Happy 4th 2013

Today's sketch. Totally drawn and painted in the dark with everything balanced on my knee. I was only able to lay down 3min of pencil work before they shut the lights off for the fire works to start. I guess the nice part o my small kit are that you can remember where your colors are. I didn't know what this was going to look like until now. Gouache and fine marker.

I am going to start posting my daily art even if I don't have time to put great text to it. This is today. Let the work speak for itself...or not
