| My sketchbag |
A few months ago I was contacted by the editor Steve Doherty and asked if I would like to share how I work on location with watercolor? Of course, my answer was YES! After a few email back and forth we arranged a time for the phone interview. A week later I received the draft of the article. I made additional comments, and sent digital images of my sketches from Praque, Germany, France and Italy.

What a treat it is to share my watercolor sketches and illustrated travel journals. In the printed version of Plein Air Magazine I have four pages, but the digital version is expanded to have two additional pages of my sketches. If you are interested in a copy you can purchase it at Barnes & Nobles, or subscribe to the Plein Air Magazine.
Happy Sketching!

Wonderful article, I subscribe to the magazine in digital format, and had neglected to download it. When I saw your blog post I grabbed my iPad and downloaded the magazine... and there it was... among all the oil paintings... your lovely watercolors. Congratulations Brenda.. and very nice write up too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elaine! I love your warm encouraging words. I was surprised when Steve asked me to be in the magazine ...I said isn't that an oil painting magazine? He said oil painters could use a few tips on how to travel lighter and watercolor is the best medium for sketching. I agree! I am humbled to be included with so many wonderful painters.
Deletewonderful! Loved hearing about this. All your loyal fans are SO pleased.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and I look forward to reading the article and viewing more of your work! I love what I've seen so far. You are an inspiration. Have a beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind comments, Ileana!
ReplyDeleteI've been so busy I have not gone looking for the magazine. I buy them often since they brought the publication back, but am delighted to hear watercolor gets some press! I look forward to seeing your awesome work in print again! Have a great Christmas and health for your family in the new year!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the interest in my artwork. Plein air magazine is mostly an oil painting publication so I feel a little like a drop of water in the bucket of oil... But water always floats to the top ;-)
DeleteHello Brenda, I just received my Plein air Magazine and would like to congratulate your article in it which I just finished reading.
ReplyDeleteI really admire your work and sketches, they are great!
Wishing you and your family a lovely Christmas and new year.
Hi Steinunn, Thank you for the wonderful message! I am very happy with the article and I'm delighted to be included in the beautiful publication. Happy Sketching!
