Not sure what this elaborate doodle is, but that's fine with me. An enjoyable drawing process, often I sketch in pen longer than I should and only have a few minutes left to add paint! Pen and watercolor, approx. 5 1/2" x 8".
Tonight's sketch seemed finished after 15 minutes. Basically, my paint was too wet to add any more color, and since the subject is on the simple side, I couldn't think of anything else to add to this to stretch the time out a little. But enjoyable nonetheless! Watercolor, 5 1/2" x 8".
Halloween is coming! More pencil sketching in 20 minutes. The soft pencil works much better than paint or ink on this particular sketchbook paper, purchased because it was bound in a very attractive notebook. I love the eerie effect underlighting has on a simple object, making it somewhat creepier than usual. Approx. 4" x 6".
This small 20 minute butterfly sketch was inspired by several old (30's-60's era perhaps) crewelwork embroidery patterns. The purple, blue and green color palette is slightly different than the colors I usually choose, but they are cool and pleasing. Pen and watercolor, approx. 3 1/2" x 6".
