A question of drawing and color

The Sketcher's Symposium was satisfying and interesting in so many ways.

Awesome sketchbooks and a broad range of presenters and styles.

One of the things I always face in sketching is the dominance of line or color.

It can easily become a disturbing competition between the two.

One of the things I want to play more with is this balance. I love drawing, and I am usually initially attracted to color. It's a matter of more experimenting, and choosing.

Definitely line dominant...not too satisfied with this one.

This is an early morning view from our living room, lifting fog. Line dominant ok...

More play, again looking out the window at summer dahlias.
