Sketching by the Oklahoma River last night

I drew until it was too dark to see what I was doing. Also this week I saw scissor tailed flycatchers and great tailed grackles.

Just a little sketch in graphite.

Goose Creek in Walnut Ink

A few Fridays ago, it was unseasonably warm, but the bugs and poison ivy weren't out yet.  I sat out and sketched by Goose creek, in the woods near my daughter's school, for an hour or two.  This was the result.  This was done mostly with a bamboo pen; some of it is my homemade soda can pen; and after I got home I worked in more details with a Hunt 101 nib.
