A hundred houses challenge is a good idea. I'd like to see how that turns out.

Thank you! I have done a few more but I need to let my love of walking around cities slowly influence this project. Soon!

I love sketchbook tours! ❤ And how exciting your sketchbook will be in a special exhibit! Congrats on that! And so many places named "devil" out there. I wonder why they are called that? Because diablo means devil. Sometimes the reason why places get named a particular word grabs my interest. I hope you have an emergency locator beacon in your hiking camping supplies.. David Paulides recomends people use them when going out into those pretty but wild areas. He is an ex cop. His channel is Canam Missing Project. I thought I was the only one who tries to draw rocks! They can be tricky. And 100 houses err ? Hmmm... Do all 100 have to be in the same sketchbook? Or no? Sometimes with my autism I get caught up on these details. I knowvI have 2 houses in the one sketchbook (2 seperate very detailed pictures) and in my current sketchbook I have a picture of another house. I dont count houses that are just in the background of a landscape. If I did the count would be much higher... I do try to draw daily. Great job on the sketchbook!! ❤

Thanks Sarah! I love this question! I actually know quite a bit about Mount Diablo, as its spring waterfalls are one of my favorite Bay Area hikes, well worth the trek and elevation climb to see them. :) Most of California was colonized by the Spanish in the 1800s and they gave it the name after being spooked by shadowy figures they witnessed haunting them in a willow thicket. Some stories say they were "witches" others have different interpretations. The Bay Miwok people living on the land call it Oo'-yum- bel'-le. It has some of the most fascinating geology too! I appreciate your concern for my safety! I do always keep a locator of some sort on me. My phone has one built in now (thank goodness) but it surely makes me braver to do more challenging trails far from cell service. As far as your question about everything being in the same sketchbook, I say no way! That rule totally wouldn't work for me and I would want to draw different shiny beautiful things. There sure have to be artists disciplined to only fill a sketchbook with houses, but I'm not one of them. Play > rigid structures any day!

What type of paper was in the sketchbook? I really loved the way the neon +gesso worked. It definitely made it less aggressive!

Thank you! It was a standard A5 Kraft sketchbook so 140gsm and acid free but pretty thin. On a few pages I glued in some dollar store construction paper and used gouache on that. Super nice, affordable and toothy! I appreciate your comment on the neon+gesso! I picked that stuff up as a challenge to myself to play more with color. It is indeed a challenge, but it was so fun to play with here!
