Two sketches from a sketchercise walk by the Loire, where I do my usual thing…sketch with a pencil or pen in watercolor sketchbook and adding a wash at home.
A waterpump in the tiny knotted garden by the Maison de la loire .
The narrow tree lined pathway by the Loire.
And lastly a sketch of my “chicken” in the garden.
All sketches with pen/pencil in watercolor sketchbook

My favorite is the “Chicken” in your garden…lovely!
I love the freeness of your sketches and the light too. Lovely 😉
Oh, we didn’t see the chicken on Sketchercise – she’s gorgeous, your garden and your walking paths are so full of quaint and beautiful subjects, freshly delivered to us from your pen and brush!
I LOVE your sketches with washes..Are you left handed Ronelle?
Love these loose and fluid sketches!
Looks like you have lot of inspiration surrounding you.
Have a great week!

Don’t know how you get the colors so believable when you do them at home, Ronell– The sketches look as if you did all of them on location. So fresh and springlike.

So fresh and springlike, Ronell. They always look as if you did everything on location, rather than painting them at home.

All lovely and reminds me of Spring.
Your sketches are always so delightful, Ronell! Charming. It sounds so lovely where you are.
Ronell, just popping to tell you that I have linked from a Flickr group, to your sweet potato recipe because I featured a photo of my take on your dish.
And seeing the photo again prompts me to use the s.p. I have in the box…
Love the sketches! Makes me want to get my watercolors out. 😉
