LPBoni Sketchbook: House Finch

I just hung this bird feeder on Sunday and already (Tuesday morning) it has visitors! He was even kind enough to sit still long enough for me to sketch him!

Welcome to my sketchbook!

All images are copyright protected. Please refrain from using all images without written permission.

These sketches are small watercolors, often with ink. They range in size from 3 1/2" x 5 1/4" to about 6" x 8". I use primarily a dry brush technique.

My watercolor kit consists of a small Winsor & Newton travel kit, an assortment of 5 brushes, a mechanical pencil, kneaded eraser, folded piece of paper towel and an assortment of Sakura Micron Pens in black and Sepia. All this is housed in a small Kaddy pouch that fits in my handbag or backpack along with a small clean plastic peanut butter jar filled 1/2 full of water! To this I add either a small or medium watercolor Moleskine or another small watercolor sketchbook. You can see a sketch of my basic kit here.

Thanks for visiting!

Blessings and Peace!

Welcome to my sketchbook! I was one of those kids who filled the margins of their homework with drawings. While I am mostly self-taught as an artist, there were a few influential people along the way. Mrs. Carlson, my 7th grade art teacher who gave me the best foundation for drawing that I could have had. I still use the techniques she taught me all those years ago. My Mom, who enouraged my art and who is herself multi-talented in the arts and crafts. My Aunt Olive who shared her love of drawing and painting and encouraged my cousins and I to paint. The wonderful community of artists at WetCanvas who freely share their knowledge. All images are copywrite Lisa P. Boni, 2006. No reproduction is allowed without express written consent. Much of my artwork is available for sale. Please inquire via e-mail at lisa.boni@gmail.com
