Paint Party Friday - Full Moon at Dawn

Welcome to Paint Party Friday.  This piece is called 'Full Moon at Dawn' and is the final page in my art journal (5"w x 7"h).  It's done in watercolour pencil.  I found an old art sketchbook that my son K used in elementary school.  It's mostly empty so that will be my new (8 1/2" x 11") sketchbook!  It does have his name on it.

    Yay for finishing an art journal! Your final sketch is wonderful, so peaceful looking.
    Good luck with your new larger journal! Happy PPF!

    Beautiful and peaceful... isn't it a bit sad when you do the past page?
    As for your son's name on the next book, you can always keep it as a memento of his handwriting.... or if he didn't write it, paint/collage over it!

    That is a great picture. I don't know why but I always enjoy when the sky is so clear you can still see the moon during the day. Unless it's not the moon. Anyway, enjoy the new sketchpad and make sure he doesn't try and claim credit for any of your work.

    Congrats on finishing your art journal! And with a pretty outdoor picture too. I find it so hard to fill up sketchbooks and journals. I think all of mine still have pages open!

    Wonderful, Christine. It is so much fun to work in pencils, I think. Great that you can reuse an old notebook for your new sketchbook.

    A lovely mountain side drawing Christine. I too use old notebooks and such from my son's school days and love seeing the names and doodles when I turn a page or cover:)

    I really admire how you keep on drawing all the time. You even got me painting another Valentine card for my granddaughter.
