4/28/26 rock drawing, 11x15” 8:42 AM, pencil on arches watercolor paper
9AM: mikela forgot her phone over at the house, so i taped a piece of drawing paper to a piece of foam core, took a couple of pencils and walked over to pick up her phone. then i started going up the trail we usually take for our daily walks. my intention was to walk over to the creek and make a drawing. but i stopped after a bit because i spotted a rock formation asking to be drawn.
2 shots of yesterdays sky at 3:42PM
i brought a stabilo 8008 and a caran d’ache sienna pencil and made a drawing before returning to the studio. mikela had a good intuition about getting her phone, as she received a work call just after i returned.
