Succulents by the Pool

I brought a small sketchbook and my trusty flair tip pen to the pool today. There were a lot of possible subjects all around - but I was drawn instantly to this large succulent plant. I gave myself a little longer than usual to capture the scene - unfortunately, I ran out of space on the page to fit everything in. Maybe next time.

I am finding that this particular pen is prone to bleeding when water is applied. It's a neat effect, but I'll have to make myself aware of that whenever I'm working with a lighter color.

Trying out a challenge to myself - to create "finished" pieces with a limited color palette on a consistent schedule. I am still working out the final guidelines. I think I would like to challenge myself to use a new texture in each piece as well. I've had this unfinished sketch in my sketchbook forever. Even though I'm not entirely happy with it - it feels great to finally have it done!
