I wondered if maybe my problem with drawing had anything to do with being faced with a blank page. So I crumpled up some tissue paper and glued it onto these two pages then painted over it with gesso and I must admit that once I'd made that mess I didn't feel quite so intimidated.
So I went for it. I used oil pastels (as suggested by Gina ) to draw the cow parsley and I have since gone over it with green ink.
This time I had a go at drawing on a normal page. I have also gone over this one with ink and I think this one looks much better so I won't bother with the tissue paper again.
Here it is, I used the ink at full strength and I think it's too strong.

I like the bag Angela, looks a god size for shopping. You're doing better than me with the sketching, i haven't even started. I agree, your corn field looks great. Lots of movement in the drawing.
Fabulous sketchbook work Angela... don't tell me you can't draw anymore!
Your bag is looking good I love the colours it will look brilliant when it is finished (still think the geese should have pointed noses!) Good luck with your course work.
The sketch work is really good from one who says she cannot draw!!! Like from one who says she doesn't like cooking and you make the most fabulous cakes!! I loved the cornfield very much. Bag is great even if the zip is causing problems!!!!
