Today I really wanted to go to the "Living Desert" park, but it is too breezy and cool right now. the Living Desert is a little zoo and also a nature park with arboretum desert-style, with wonderful little paths to explore. I love that place. It is a wonderful photo-op place, but with the breeze blowing plants, the pictures may not come out very good.
So, we are doing the vacation thing - doodling around. I put up one of my photos on the computer and did a quick study here. I'm trying to use the side of the square pastel sticks to suggest the plants. It is challenging to do a curved shape this way. The yucca plants at the bottom have triangular shapes to their leaves, but they have a slight curve to it. The cholla in the middle of the picture was really hard. They are full of spines which give them a fuzzy look, but the plant has curved branches. Maybe with more practise and experimentation I can be successful at how I want it to look.
