So many days behind...

 

grey marker and Inktense pencil for these 5, from photos (phone) or the tv

...it was Alan Alda`s birthday a few days ago...

Days 11 and 12

The road between Ottawa and Montreal is quite open,

giving great view of the changing skies.

From a photo in the train series, this is the Montreal West station.

I bought a new block of paper the other day, wouldn't you know it's rough, again?

Sigh. More haste less speed... Hot press. Not hard to remember.

8th 30 in 30

This reminds me how much I dislike cold-press paper.... too much texture...

From the photo series movement...

Love these grey markers...

 

This is a building on Crescent Street... boarded up, surrounded by high-rises...

Well, I thought it a worthy challenge. Hope I'm up to it, even while uploading my first few; colour pencil sketches from my travel series of photographs. I started in colour pencil decades ago, these are Derwent Inktense. The first are dry, second are with a wash.
