We had a wonderful workshop last Saturday sketching a barn in Mukilteo, at the home of Ana, a generous sketcher and plein air painter. It filled so quickly that I never actually posted it on my site, so for those who would have liked to attend yet did not have the chance I am so sorry.

A 5-minute sketching exercise was a challenge, to work on sketching without overthinking. I try to do quick sketches, in either pencil or ink, every day. These improve your eye-hand coordination, something we all need.

Then we sketched the barn, and talked about mixing watercolors. The weather was great, all around a fun time.
