Haiku March 1, 2013 Evergreens and Buds

March 1, 2013 / beverlydyer / 4 Comments

Showy evergreens

Delight brown and grey woodlands

Trees burst with new buds!

Art Prescription: As winter has a few final days, it’s cold and windy, and grey. As much as I love the sculptural quality of bare winter trees, it’s nice to see some color. The pines, spruces, and hollies provide lovely greens throughout winter.

Colored sketchbook fun

Watercolor pencils, draw

Then paint with water!!

Art Prescription: Watercolor pencils are a great tool for sketch-booking outside. Simply take your pencils and sketchbook, draw and color en plein air. Then back in the studio add water for a surprise mixing of color. Sketchbook graffiti!
