Just need to figure out what approach to take to make it feel like the focal point again – this is what happens when you over-render your blueberry bushes, friends.

I am starting to really get into the bark, and I think this is going to take a few passes to get right, but! I am so, so excited about how much vibrance I can get by layering these neutrals together!

I now have a beautiful new digital mirrorless camera + gorgeous telephoto lens to take on adventures! But I cannot willingly do so without a protective case.
What I’d like is a very lightweight sling or messenger style bag that lets me keep my camera assembled, so I can easily pull it out and then pop it back in depending on terrain, transit, weather, etc. Something that doesn’t look too high tech would be nice, but I definitely am more worried about padding, weatherproofing, etc. than looks. If it’s big enough to also carry some sketching supplies, that’s a win, but not my first concern.
I’m gonna try and hit up some camera shops downtown in a week or two to fulfill this quest.
Pictured: the leather case I somehow still have for my dad’s 1970s nikkormat 
My partner has a weatherproof sling/crossbody bag that also carries his skateboard, very similar to this newer model I found, which is an amazingly targeted piece of equipment that also fits his camera! I’m pretty sure he could use the skateboard bits to carry a tripod instead, which is just old fashioned good design in my books. Anyways, what have you found, what do you love, what do you recommend keeping an eye out for?
thanks!

Well, starting to. This is where I realize a little ref would have gone a long way.But we can probably get somewhere pleasing, even if not accurate, if I keep going.

The texture on the paper in this MUJI sketchbook is so pleasing!

I love how they start to go red in the end of summer, they are underrated ornamental beauties!

This palette really holds you accountable to relative colour! But also: you can use every pencil crayon in your possession and it will still feel perfectly harmonious.

Twenty four colours including white, so, the 23 larger more uniform swatches at the top are the full line of pencil crayons. the rest of the swatches are me tearing blending and mixing, erasing, or making up miniature Zorn pallets of black, red, yellow and white, using different reds and yellows.
it’s a very limited palette, not just in color and saturation but also in value, with really only a few proper darks. I don’t know why the entire range is limited to this palette, but I am finding the challenge of working within it to be really fun and would recommend giving it a shot!
