Day 36 – Extending the Lines

Posted on February 23, 2025 by Mama Cormier

…completing one of my prep pages

Several years ago I took a Lino block printing class. I carved out branches on the block and made a few prints but I never did anything with the prints until today.

I glued the print into my journal and added more collage papers and Inchies. This evening I extended the branches with my markers and added black, white and gold lines and marks.

Blind Contour Drawings to Adding Colour

Posted on February 16, 2025 by Mama Cormier

…day 32 of my daily art challenge

I’ve done blind contour drawings before. They are suppose to be a good way to warm up when you want to sketch an object. I took photos of the objects so that you can see what I was trying to draw blind and then semi-blind. After the warm-up I drew the object and then added watercolour.

We Need More Peace and Love in the World

Posted on February 15, 2025 by Mama Cormier

….day 31

Picked up my pencil crayons for this drawing. Reminded me of my childhood when switching from crayons to coloured pencils seemed like a step closer to adulthood.

Drawing doves and poppies has always symbolized the hope for peace. I feel like we need it more than ever.
