In and Out of The Studio: Colorful little paintings
http://catherinestudio.blogspot.com/2015/02/colorful-little-paintings.html
My Book: A Petoskey Watercolor Journal. Materials list for Bookbinding. Finished off with a couple of swipes of watercolor. They are continuous line drawings done with a Uni-ball Vision pen with a fine tip. They are each two inches square. It's snowing here and the wind chill advisory for tonight is for 25 to 40 BELOW! That has to be a misprint. Please be a misprint? You know I love these. I just put my feather and MY thumbnails on Instagram. Do you follow instagram? You always inspire me.Marj. I am an a...

In and Out of The Studio: Petunias, marigolds, etc
http://catherinestudio.blogspot.com/2014/05/petunias-marigolds-etc.html
My Book: A Petoskey Watercolor Journal. Materials list for Bookbinding. Petunias, marigolds, etc. Okay, I'm done hibernating. I've had my spring greenhouse fix, and I'm ready to plant and paint - not necessarily in that order. The sun is shining, the birds are singing (squawking), and we've even had a hummingbird. We've mowed the lawn, and hauled junk out to the curb for the spring pick-up. How was your winter? Are you painting and sketching? Thank goodness you are out of hibernation! Well, well.here...

In and Out of The Studio: Sketching on the porch
http://catherinestudio.blogspot.com/2014/05/sketching-on-porch.html
My Book: A Petoskey Watercolor Journal. Materials list for Bookbinding. Sketching on the porch. After I had drawn this, I noticed how wrong the angle of the middle spindle is. I could have made a little patch and sketched it in correctly, but, hey, that's not what sketch-booking is all about for me. Actually, it's about ANYTHING you want, but my purpose is to keep the pen and brushes moving! Another beautiful day in Northern Michigan! Where ever you are, are you sketching? Just to say I live in Northern ...

In and Out of The Studio: Underpainting
http://catherinestudio.blogspot.com/2013/12/underpainting.html
My Book: A Petoskey Watercolor Journal. Materials list for Bookbinding. If you plan out your composition and paint the underpainting accordingly, you have a better chance of leaving some whites. We just painted our wash of primaries, and then drew the still life, working with whatever wash we had. It isn't the underpainting's fault that the yellow pitcher is a little wonky. Looks great to me! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A PETOSKEY WATERCOLOR JOURNAL. Northern Lower Michigan, United States.

In and Out of The Studio: A Little Bookbinding
http://catherinestudio.blogspot.com/2013/12/a-little-bookbinding.html
My Book: A Petoskey Watercolor Journal. Materials list for Bookbinding. This is a portfolio/folder that I made yesterday to hold small pieces of watercolor paper. I had seen a similar one online, but I didn't have any directions, so there was a lot of measuring, cutting, folding, gluing, and fitting. Trial and error stuff. Actually I'm sugar coating it. But most surprising of all, no Christmas shopping had been done! Now on to Christmas shopping. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I am an artist living,...

In and Out of The Studio: Looking North
http://catherinestudio.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-view-out-front-window-when-i-did.html
My Book: A Petoskey Watercolor Journal. Materials list for Bookbinding. The View Out the Front Window. When I did this little watercolor sketch in my journal a few days ago, the Bay was actually this blue - a very Prussian blue. Today the view is softened by snow. I don't know if "softened" is the right word. "Softened" has kind of a positive connotation, and this is not feeling too positive to me. Lovely sketch, I jealous about the snow! Little Blue Dog - thanks! I am jealous of YOUR hot weather! View m...

In and Out of The Studio: Middle Granddaughter
http://catherinestudio.blogspot.com/2013/12/middle-granddaughter.html
My Book: A Petoskey Watercolor Journal. Materials list for Bookbinding. A snowy night at Grandma and Grandpa's, lots of art supplies, and a cozy corner to sit in and create. It would have been even more fun if school had been called off the next day, but surprisingly, it wasn't. We've been seeing lots of snowfall, but very few snow plows. It snowed two or three more inches this morning just during my two-hour class. My idea of a perfect evening Catherine . Bet she loves coming to your house!

In and Out of The Studio: Day 29
http://catherinestudio.blogspot.com/2013/11/day-29.html
My Book: A Petoskey Watercolor Journal. Materials list for Bookbinding. Cathy's Zinnias and Cosmos. This is a demonstration in my sketchbook, done last summer in one of our bookbinding classes. This is day 29 of blogging every day in November. It has been a busy day, and I'm getting a little blurry eyed, so I think posting this little sketch is about it for now. More eating, dominoes, even a little shopping today, and family games tonight. Fun! Love the blue background! This is what I want to learn to do!

In and Out of The Studio: View down Ready Street
http://catherinestudio.blogspot.com/2014/11/view-down-ready-street.html
My Book: A Petoskey Watercolor Journal. Materials list for Bookbinding. View down Ready Street. View Down Ready Street and a Burger. A couple of weeks ago we took a little trip up to the Marquette area. Marquette is a mining town on Lake Superior. Our son and his family are in the process of moving there. He is already living there with our middle granddaughter, and the rest of his family will follow at the end of this school year. Love the Sketch- You make Downtown wherever look great! I love the way yo...
