Another Chook
Gansai Tambi watercolour fun
A not completely successful chook
It is a bit of a mess, but practice every day right?
A little emu strolled past
sulphur crested cockatoo
Here is a quick little watercolour postcard featuring a cockatoo. He is a happy little fellow I am calling Herbie. He is a Micron pen line and Inktense watercolour wash on Winsor and Newton watercolour postcard paper. Thanks to @laylaclode for the image at https://unsplash.com/photos/U2c2XCaB65U
Playing at Still Life
This was a quick but fun little challenge. I have not really got into still life painting, but thought that I should give it a try – and hey, I was forced to eat some mini apple turnovers!. This is a mostly watercolour artwork (Daniel Smith and a little Gansai Tambi) but I did finish off the turnovers with pencil. A little white gel pen was also used for the highlights (then toned down with coloured pencil).
Yellow Rose
Here’s today’s first art. Coloured pencil sketch of a lovely yellow rose. Lots of blender pencil, but also vaseline as a blendrr as a trial. Fun fighting with materials…oil based pencils reacting with other binders. I like it when you don’t know what to think.
Seascapes are not really my thing.
Coloured pencil seascape based on a photo of Emu Park. I am not convinced but it isn’t the worst. Some blending with baby oil. About 10 hours work.
kookaburra sketch
This sketch was a pretty quick one – less than 2 hours. It was created using 2B pencils, blending and burnishing pencils and paper mill sketch and wash paper. Although far from perfect, I do like his cheeky attitude.
Create, learn, discover.
