Hearst Castle Trip is a lot of fun. This is a sketch of the San Simeon State Park early morning. Many people have been asking me what drawing materials I use, so I take a photo of my art materials on site. HE! HE!! 
My basic drawings set, which follow me everywhere, usually contains: a Winsor & Newton Cotman Sketchers' Pocket Box; 2 Japanese water brush, a Namiki Falcon Fountain Pen, Fine nib and a black ink pen.

I for one really appreciate your listing of your tools *with the picture!* ... this is a lovely rendering that really gives one the feeling of spring.
You have used very well your basic drawings set, very nice work!
Your artist's materials look pretier than the picture.
cute landscape
awwww; that is just lovely; a picture postcard
Alina!! your landscapes just keep getting better and better! This composition is outstanding and the rhythm in the landscape is wonderful!!!
How do you deal with 'looky loos'? I have a terrible time trying to concentrate with people looking over my shoulder.
Great little paintings. The water colors are awesome. The under drawing is great too.
Superb!
Awesome! you are so talented!!
THank you everyone for your kind comments.
Soo,
THank you. My drawings are usually 15 - 20 mins quick sketches. The speed helps to keep everything loose. :)
what a wonderfull watercolor!
Terrific work, Alina! And it's fun to learn a bit about your process.
Very nicely done as always. Love your set up with the tools of the trade. Even the composition of the picture, paints and pen looks like a work of art in itself. Great Job as always:)
Beautiful job! I love the colors and just general serenity of the piece. ;)
Cheers,
Theresa
