Sketching Grass on a Snowy Day
Sketching some grass outside in the snow. I show my field painting kit, bag, palette, sketchbook, and link to a video I did too. I talk about fox tracks in the snow.
(Belated) Signs of Spring

Snow, Snow, Snow January 12, 2011
(A late entry that I wanted to add photos to before sharing, it’s from a tiny field sketchbook I made that’s handy to take in my pocket or a small bag when it’s wintry weather like this.) What a cold…
