This little Pentalic journal is 3.5″ x 5.4″.

I added detail to this log cabin sketch, but I may have overdone it.

Painting outdoor is really fun, but my eye for detail disappears and I head over into a blurry world. I bought the wee Cotman Field Box Set, which is adorable and clever. It has 12 colors, a flask, and a teeny brush. I also bought two small Pentalic journals. It’s truly painting on the go.

And here are pages three and half of four in my 12″ x 9″ practice journal.


Sometimes, a super tiny painting is the way to go. All of these can fit in a 9″x12″ rectangle. Painting on the go is fun. I use four colors and water brushes.


For the first time, I painted plein air, which means I took my painting outdoors. Fun! The end products, however, were practice and nothing but. My husband took some wonderful pictures that I used as a reference and I painted these in my journal the next day.
