Myrna posing with our sketchesI was fortunate enough to meet up with an internet friend, the talented and accomplished artist and teacher, Myrna Wacknov of Creativity Journey, while visiting my family in California. We met at the Cantor Museum at Stanford University and had a great time discussing art and creativity, looking through each others sketchbooks and sketching materials and sharing thoughts and ideas. With a bottle of ink in the middle of the table we experimented with drawing instruments while sketching each other in the warm California sun.
I sketched Myrna with a natural bamboo pen and ink. Then used the dreaded waterbrush to add watercolor.
Myrna sketched me with a wooden coffee stirrer and then added watercolor with a sable travelbrush along with a container of water. I had major brush envy...

Thanks Jennifer. It was a special day! I forgot to get the brand name of the ink! Please send me the info.
This looks like great fun. Nice sketches using "unorthodox" tools!
Great sketches, I'm jealous of the sable waterbrush too!
I follow both your blogs, so it was fun to see you cross over about this meeting!
