SLOW DRAWING NATURE JOURNAL

 I purchased an online workshop from Amy Maricle at Slow Drawing Art…it’s about reconnecting to nature and I thought it would be a good thing to get me back into things for spring - when it comes.

I have done a few prelims (sketchy doodles and then colored in with watercolor bits) and then started the journal (a little square one that has really textured paper so not high end watercolor paper but interesting texture).  

Hoping March and April will bring me some more inspiration as I’ve just been working with things I have lying around the little art room until things start blooming again.  

MORE ORANGE AND BLUE

This time, I took the oranges and blues I used in the previous painting and did this work on top of a print I’d made and drawn on with waterproof ink.  Painting in watercolor over the printed paper with color on it was interesting - it did not cover completely so made some nice texture in the paper.

ORANGE AND BLUE

 I felt like I needed some color in my life so used a photo from Free Reference Photos for Artists (a FB group).  I liked the warm oranges and changed the colors to browns and Manganese Blues for the complimentary colors.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY

 I hope you get chocolate or flowers or a big hug today from someone you love!

REWORKING A COUPLE MORE PRINTS - AND INCHIES THAT AREN’T INCHIES

 Two prints reworked using some irridescent (silver and gold) markers.

And an “inchie” that started with the word prompt “Braided”
