Some keep their shape and colors
Blooming all year long

Pitcher – Direct Watercolor
I recently came across the term Direct Watercolor from a blog post by Marco Taro Holmes. Direct Watercolor means painting in watercolor without an underlying sketch or drawing. I thought I’d give it a try, so here is my first effort. I’m pretty happy that I can recognize it as a pitcher.
Dama Gazelle
For my final illustration for the online course Natural History Illustration 101, I chose to draw a Dama Gazelle. I used a photograph I took a couple of years ago at an exotic game breeding ranch. I’ve been taking drawing lessons for two years now. I can tell you that had I tried this two years ago, it would have ended up as some version of a stick figure gazelle.

Golden-and-Silver Honeysuckle Illustration
I’m taking an online course on Natural History Illustration. The homework for Week 4 was to illustrate a flower. We have this honeysuckle on our back fence (and it’s blooming!), so I snipped off a piece and used it as my subject. As soon as I submitted this photo for my homework, I noticed I hadn’t listed the measurements or even the color of the leaves. Lesson learned? Maybe.
