Kristen goes art-crazy

I went shopping with my dad at Staples on our way to have lunch together on Wednesday, and I found myself on the art supplies aisle. On Facebook a few weeks ago, I started an album of my artwork and have been wanting to add to it, so I grabbed a sketch pad and some drawing pencils and toyed with the idea of buying some watercolor pencils but decided 20 dollars for them was a bit too much. After lunch, I decided to swing by WalMart and see if they had any less expensive watercolor pencils, and indeed they did, so I got those and some watercolor paper, too. And so I spent my free time on Wednesday and Thursday drawing and painting and thoroughly enjoying myself. The results:

pencil drawing: my grandfather
pencil drawing: my sister at age one hugging a puppy
pencil drawing: my grandfather's pasture after some snow
watercolor: some holly after the same snow
watercolor: a rose
watercolor: another flower (a snapdragon?)

I think I'm going to slow down a little with the art craziness and get some schoolwork done or something, but I think I'm going to try to do at least one drawing a painting or week from now on.

In other news, since I've been told by almost everyone I know (particularly the Whedon fans) how wonderful Veronica Mars is, I picked up season one today and am about to go home and watch it (currently at school to make use of the scanner).
