©2010 Carolyn A. Pappas, Blue Greens. Ink and watercolor wash, 7 x 10 inches.
I have a small 7 x 10 inch watercolor sketchbook that is in progress right now. I have only four pages left and after that I have a new moleskine watercolor sketchbook to start. I am a little nervous because I have never used one of their watercolor sketchbooks before. There are always people out there who don’t like something about moleskines, whether it is the paper, or the binding or whatever. Nina Johansson even started a Facebook group petitioning Moleskine to make a portrait format watercolor moleskine.
Speaking of Nina Johansson, she just had a show of some recent watercolor paintings and she has been posting them to her blog. It is a really lovely series of paintings, featuring Swedish homes and landscapes. She also uses a lot of abstract geometric shapes and stenciling. Definitely check it out if you haven’t already.
On an unrelated note, I’ve added Google Friend Connect to my sidebar to make it easier for you if that’s the way you prefer to subscribe to blogs. Also, for anybody in the US who is needing (or wanting) some new art supplies, Dick Blick is running a special offer until July 26, 2010 with free shipping on orders over $69.
