Just returned from a trip to Chicago which included a visit to the Field Museum. I had fun sketching in the bird exhibit. This enormous beaked bird is a whalehead stork. I also sketched a palm cockatoo and kookaburra but didn't add color to them.

Another homework less for the third week of Kate's Watercolor Pencil Class. I'm feeling really behind so I think I'll be working on these excercises well past the final week. It's fun to get feedback and I'm really enjoying see all the other students art work as well.

Kate's Watercolor Pencil Class





I'm taking an online watercolor pencil class from Cathy (Kate) Johnson and having lots of fun! I'm happy with some of these results but hoping that practice will help. I am learning a lot and enjoying seeing everyones work, comments and discussion. This is the second online art class I've taken and I'm really enjoying the format. It works well for someone who has such a packed schedule.
