Re: Rainy's Stillman & Birn Sketchbooks
Thank you Viv, Joan, Debby, Margo and Tina.
Quick sketch of an elephant with a Derwent sketching pencil on S&B Beta. I'm not fond of pencil on this paper, has more texture than I like for pencils.

Marvelous elephant. Yes, the Beta has a lot of texture to it.

Re: Rainy's Stillman & Birn Sketchbooks
Well I like the way the elephant turned out. I think the textured background adds to the look. The paper we work on is such a personal preference though.

Wonderful sketches Rainy as always. My favorite is the baby bird. Very well done.

Rainy, sometimes less is more. This is one of those times. Great job.

Nice job on the elephant. I love the sketch of the restaurant! I could sit down now and have a meal!

Re: Rainy's Stillman & Birn Sketchbooks
That's a great urban sketch Rainy. I think half of the point of urban sketching is getting down what interests you and on to the next thing. I always edit my sketches or I'd never get them done. Your waterlillies are super! One of my absolute favorite flowers.
