Thank You Stillman & Birn

Stillman & Birn Sketchbook, Watercolor

About the Stillman & Birn Sketchbook

This past February, I won a Stillman & Birn Beta Series sketchbook in an online “giveaway” sponsored by Stillman & Birn.  I thought I’d share my thoughts on the sketchbook now that I’ve had it for a couple of months.
  • I chose the Beta Series because of the heavy paper weight.
  • I liked it so much I went out and bought a second one.
  • I like the feel of the paper.  It works well with watercolor and I can apply multiple layers.
  • I like the construction of both the wire bound and hard bound sketchbooks.

Drawing. A Mental Meander on the Word “Drawing”

Watercolor Drawing, Drawing

Drawing and Quartering.

Hah!  Bet you thought it ought to be “drawn and quartered”, and you’d be right.  However, it didn’t quite fit with this discussion on drawing and I don’t intend to draw and quarter anybody.

I have been thinking all day about what to say about my watercolor drawing of the neighbor’s big plum tree.  I like the tree, you could say I was drawn to it.   It produces shade and color for the neighborhood.  Not very deep, though I must say it gives me joy to see it in its colorful glory.
