That's my fav too !!! I need to get outside more without having to mow the yard or pull weeds !!.

I think your work is unique and I love your style !

Thank you, Kim!

Sveta, what beautiful color drawings!! The watercolor flowers are one of my favorites, as well as the forest in color pencil (the last one).
I wish I could draw in color, but the few times that I tried ... well let's say that I quickly continued working in black&white

I also went out the weekend to a local park (Domaine Howard) and sketched some trees and stones. Both are the same group of trees and stones from different angles; the perspective is not very good rendered as the group was in a downhill, and in the second drawing the stone at left is really bad sketched, but I am happy with the work in the tree roots.
I usually do not draw outdoors, but I liked the experience (this time I used a lot of insect repelent, ja!).

These have a really dramatic sense of light vs. dark, Claudio. and a very good texture.

Well done Claudio! I love the first one, it would make a good inclusion into a bigger piece.

Thank you, Sveta and Steve for your comments. And yes, I was thinking too of repeating the motive in a bigger format with a more studied composition.

Been out this morning and sat down to sketch this!

Oh, I really need to move to England. I love this country! What a beautiful nature.

And this is very good sketch!

Very nice one, Steve. I like how you depict all the different textures in the landscape. I will wait some weeks, so I could probably see it again in a beautiful watercolor. Am I right?
And I really agree with Sipsik: you have very lovely land and seascapes in England!
Claudio

Just don't say you did that in 5 minutes

very nice sketch Steve! agrees..thinks we all need to visit your country

lol. It took about 30 - 40 minutes. And everybody is welcome here! When you've all had your 60s party in Vegas, Let's have one in Devon!

Somebody's car near my house.

steve it is a beautiful country ...amazes me to see that you can be outside and see this kind of stuff ..I ride bikes all around our town and nothing clomes close to that view . and your drawing is inspiring .

Siks I love the way you drew that car !!!

Siks, you have such an individual style! I love the car, it's just superb!

Kim, I will try to post a link to some photos of my local area! If anybody wants to use them as inspiration? You are most welcome. I'll get some together now and make a folder available online.

OK, I've uploaded a few pics, I'll add more when I can. This is how they came out of the camera! The only editing I've made is the size. Just to make it easier to upload.

Clickity!

You can use these photos for any art projects you want.

Thanks for your nice comments!

Great photos, Steve. I guess I have to plan a visit to England too

Steve with so much beauty around you it would be a shame if you weren't such a great artist. Such a pretty country, but I think you must be somewhat of a photographer as well. Thanks for sharing and we'll look for more.

I only have a very small digital camera. It's automatic, just point and click! I try to take photos of things that might inspire me to paint if I don't have time for a sketch!

Steve, thank you for the pictures! I specially loved the port series; I guess the watercolor lovers will make lovely paintings.
England is indeed an incredible country. For example, I found a guy with green hair ...

A very handsome fellow!

steve i had a great time going thru those pics..I am not done yet, i must go back and finish.
Are you a shriner? (do they have that stuff over there)? I have no idea..
My uncle joe was a shriner, and my hubby is a mason..

and green is def your color.

I have no idea what a shriner is?

lol...alrighty then

I've made some quick sketches today in the park and one - of a curious plant in a pot on the window sill. The little boy I had to sketch in a minute - but I overheard what he was saying to another boy - "The wolf is sHleeping..."

These are wonderful sketches sveta.

Fantastic sketches!

Sveta, your sketches continue to amaze me! Great work!

Summer is finally coming to an end here - which means I can go outside and sit for more than 30 seconds without melting. Here's a sketch of a bird who was kind enough to pose for me on top of his house.

Thanks! It's great to be able to enjoy the outdoors again!

I tried to open it and it said it was broken image or something like that...:S can you post it again?

I love the bird!

Here are some new contributions from me.
