SUNDAY SKETCHES

 

 Just felt the need to sketch a door.....

figuratively speaking...

 

 

Sometimes,  I really like the black pen and no colour, then it gets the better of me and 'need'' to apply some colour.......  why it's always feeling like its 'unfinished' like this below...

I just don't know.

Twinkling H20's - China Black, Pewter, Tahitian and Indian Copper....

Another page finished :)

Paint Party Friday Week#25

 

 

Paint Party Friday

 

This week I thought I'd have another go at doing a three page layered drawing.

So here the first page is the window frame, the second is the pot plant sitting at the window and the third is the background page of the door and bookcase.

Hard to tell the layers from this photo though...

 

 

Started with a sketch of a window....

 

And then cut out the 'panes'

The 2nd page... cut out the negative space leaving the pot plant 

 

 

Now with the window pane overlay

 

With the 3rd page is in background now yet to be sketched and painted



 

The start of the sketch.  I actually had drawn the door knob down lower (as you can see) only to end up being covered by the window framing, so had to draw it higher

 

 

Watercolour pencils and a water-well brush

Sunday Sketches

 

It was really nice to have some time to sit, read, draw and chat today..

I love Sundays!

 

The Winter sun is shining,  the pre-spring blooms are putting on a show,

along with the weeds.... weeds?  Do you ever wonder who deemed some plants

the unwanted weeds, while the other plants are welcome in our gardens?

 

 

 

Watercolour pencils, black outliner and white gelly roll pen.

Just a simple quick sketch and paint with water-well brush, oooh, I just didn't have the time this week, nor the inclination to do anything that required a lot of concentration, I wanted to do something, but not much - do you ever feel like that?
 Its been sooooo busy, and am glad to finally get to the end of it! 

 Did I tell you how much I loathe flying!

The word this week is....

 

VACANT

 

At a local mountain side chair-lift sees Winter time closure...

its too cold, so the chairs remain vacant looking over a magnificent view...

In winter - the only option is walking up the zigzag track to the top of the mountain

Paint Party Friday #23

 

Paint Party Friday #23

 

Yesterday, Hannah started her job placement, and while she felt she has SO much to learn,

she had an amazing day and loved every minute of it.

There were at times a lot of information to absorb, with feelings of being overwhelmed, but she kept herself steady and waded through it.

 

Hopefully this will resonate with her...
