Yes, it’s as boring as it sounds.
Literally, a few leaves. My body is so tired I cannot think straight, let alone paint. All the weekends are flying by, the work week is hectic, every other week family is coming over from India to stay with us (not that I don’t enjoy this) and I have started taking some fitness classes. So this kind of uninspiring practice type work, sans stories, is all I have for now.
That’s fine. Something like this will tile well. It takes effort and patience to do this, and you ARE expanding your skills… I LIKE IT!!
Thanks!
Green is healing, the leaves are a good choice. So glad you posted.
Thank you, Sharon! That’s true! It’s probably why I actually felt quite a bit of stress relief afterwards
I’m inspired–you’re busy as heck and yet you keep on with your commitment to art. Brava!!!
Lol! You’re the most fun commenter I’ve ever had! Thanks though.
I think they are lovely! I bought the zig refillable pens as you recommended and have enjoyed playing around. Would you post some pictures of the different stages of your work?
Oh yay! That’s great! I love those for pens travel too! I have a few wip pics on my insta (shud show up in the right bar of the blog). Not that great, but it’s something
Thanks! so you first use pencil, then marker, then watercolor?
Yes sometimes. These leaves are just watercolor. Sometimes I do watercolor or marker freehand without the safety net of an eraser. It just helps with confidence and form
Hang in there. Your illustration is very nice.
Thank you! I really needed to hear that!
