Lucca Italy

The day we went into Lucca there was a little shop, with this HUGE tree over it, and the lime green caught my eye.  I am just now getting it sketched. We are going back to Tuscany in Septmeber 2020 if you want to join us! Now's the time to start saving. 
I drew this with a 551 Fude fountain pen in a 5x8 Handbook Sketchbook.  I painted with watercolor and gouache.

75 Day Sketch Challenge-Day 21

 Brenda Swenson, A sketch artist does this 75 day Sketch Challenge, and I decided to join in.
I started it Oct.14th, Using ink and pen only. No pencil or erasers. That is hard for me because I love my pencil! AND eraser!  Starting with just pen is very intimidating, but I am on day 21 and have enjoyed it, after the first week!
The cotton and pens were sketched from life. The flowers and pumpkins were drawn from photos.
I did the fountain pens when I saw that it was National Fountain Pen day! What a funny thing to have.
These are not in exact order because this blog thing doesn't put them on in the order you pick them! and I haven't figured out how to move them.
