Day 36 – Extending the Lines

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.

Wacky Bird Wednesday – Wacky and Not So Wacky

February 19, 2025

When Kevin gave me the first drawing to submit for this week’s Wacky Bird Wednesday he admitted that it wasn’t that Wacky so he drew another one which was much more wacky. Do you have a favourite?

Blind Contour Drawings to Adding Colour

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

….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.
