Recently Canson Papers send me a free sampling of their gorgeous drawing books. I have always been a huge fan of their papers and drawing books. Most of the watercolors I do are done on Canson cold press watercolors blocks. I was very surprised when Kimberly Bolduc, a manager at Canson sent me tons of free drawing books to try out. I felt I must be good at drawing if companies are sending me their stuff for no charge out of the blue. A celebrity endorsement of sorts. So I finally got to give them a trial run. Inside the War Museum in Seoul is a room that holds 3 ships. One is quite large. That is the one I drew and painted. The place was full of little kids. Many looked like they were on school trips. I became a big attraction. Everyone wanted to take photos with me. Doing my drawing started to become secondary. It's a real struggle but I don't mind. Some people lingered for a long time watching me. I was able to make the painting come out pretty good under the pressure of the circumstances. Notice how nice it looks on paper I didn't have to pay for.

Really like how you captured the sails on this, plus the numerous spikes to keep the opposing forces off the boat (I assume). You do seem to be a people magnet--reminds me of how it might have been in earlier times with the citizens of the village strolling by the craftsmen/women, stopping to chat, to check on progress of a commission, etc. Just by working in public spaces we sketchers are inviting the curious to join us in an ancient ritual.
Thanks for sharing.
You are hilarious! And yes, the sketch looks so wonderful it would have been okay to pay for the paper it is on!
Hahaha! I'm betting it woulf look cool in anything short of kitchen paper (and maybe even there)!!
It's a lovely sketch!
Free rules.
