Well, I've been putting off posting sketches, because they always turn out looking so gosh-darned awful when I can't scan them, but it's about time I post something, oui!? I'm still on the road and playing with paint when I can.
I'm having fun going through all the fashion catalogues that swarm our mailbox this time of year, and playing around with yupo again.
It really is a good exercise using that stuff--it keeps me from being too rigid, because it's just so uncontrollable.
So, here you are--dreary backgrounds and all, since they're not scanned. (And I know, I know...I DID use the white balance, believe it or not. Sigh.) A photographer I am so NOT...
Happy almost-Halloween, all!

These are fabulous!! It makes no difference that scanning/photographing was suboptimal. I just bought a single sheet of Yupo so I can divide it among 4 of us for PLAY at one of our art sessions.
These are wonderful Sue. You missed your calling as a fashion illustrator.
I'm so with you on the photography/scanning thing. I suck at it. :)
These are fun and great. I am happy you are posting them even if you dont think they do them justice. Its just nice to hear from you. Are you doing any sketching in the sketch book project? Hope you get home soon. Aways love to see your post and art!
These are beautiful and I like what you call the "dreary" background.
I wonder if we passed on the street in NYC, life is strange.
I have no idea what yupo is but I am going to look it up now.

Thanks, everyone! I like doing these--they're fun, and I always feel like they help to loosen me up some.
David, we may have passed each other on the street! Who knows? You'll have to try Yupo--it's wacky to work with but great fun. I loved your blog!
Wonderful sketches, Sue. The lack of the proper lighting for your photographs couldn't hide the beauty of your watercolours. I'm very envious of your skill.
Even a lousy photo can not dim the glory of your watercolors!
Wonderful fashion illustrations!

Great sketches. Specially when yupo is in right hands)).
I fight with white balance by using "autocontrast" button in the graphic program. Very good result (in comparison with my own attempts).
LOVE these Sue!!!
Wonderful
