from her sketch book III

"The sketches are done on site, usually when I am traveling. I keep a journal which I fill with stories from my travels and pictures. The paintings are executed in a combination of watercolor and gouache (a kind of opaque watercolor) over a pencil sketch and are usually completed in two hours.  On rare instances I don’t have time to do a painting on site and simply do a pencil sketch and fill in the colors later from memory or with the help of my phone camera."
