Hey All!

I’ve spent the last few weeks adulting… and haven’t had the chance to draw very much. Today I got my flu and covid shots, so hopefully, my brain won’t be too foggy while I write up this post.

I have a few things to show that have been collecting these past few weeks, so let’s get to it…

Fairy Door

For Halloween, Karen’s Awesome Art School Celtic Club got together for a Live Online painting of a fairy door. The class was taught with acrylics, but I like watercolor… so I had to translate a little to figure out how to get mine to work similarly…

Zentangle

Two of the days I was out doing the adulting things, I had a few minutes of quiet time where I got out my ipad and did some zentangle… the first day I drew it out and colored it, the second day I added highlights and shadows…

Simple Tossed Blender

I get occasional emails from CatCoq, and she is currently running a mini series in November where she suggests something for you to add to your portfolio each week… last week she suggested going back to basics and creating a simple tossed blender pattern using a small single motif, simplified…

The hard part for me was to make it simple… this duck went thru quite a few iterations before I felt it was simplified down enough… then I made it into a pattern…

Zazzle

Speaking of patterns… I got an email from Zazzle reminding me that I hadn’t added any new content to the site in months… I decided it was kismet and added my cute little duck as wrapping paper...

That’s all I have this week… see you next time?

Until next time…
