It's been so very dry that it didn't occur to me we'd have rain. But it was absolutely pouring down when I left for this morning's sketch outing at Zenith Holland Nursery in Des Moines. Despite alerting sketchers yesterday that there is plenty of covered space, only 4 other intrepid sketchers came. And one was so intrepid she came from Bremerton!
It was still raining when I sat down for my first sketch. So I chose a dry fountain display in a back corner of the shop.
My long planned subject was the fountain in the outdoor courtyard. It was sprinkling but I managed to draw it without the ink running. However, when I added watercolor it quickly became spotted with drops. So I moved just inside the door to continue painting from observation, just a little to the other side.
