Papa Can You Draw Me a Butterfly?
….a quick change in plans…the prepared drawing can wait for another day
Usually my husband draws one or two drawings ahead of the day he sends them to Winnie. Today she made a request that he couldn’t ignore so he quickly whipped up this lovely butterfly. Her comment: “It’s a beautiful butterfly. Is it a unicorn butterfly?”
Combining Lesson One With Lesson Two
….my last random page
In the first lesson we were instructed to paste random pictures or pieces of paper on different pages of our sketch book and then go back and add more detail and bits of collage to create a picture. I put aside seven pages and shared six with you before I started on lesson two.
Today I went back to my sketch book and decided to take my last random page and add some of the transparency film pieces that I had cut out for my abstract floral designs. The original piece was the Alice in Wonderland illustration and the spider was the second bit. Today I added the bird like creature in blue and I added a crown of pink hair and a red starburst. I also added a couple of speech bubbles to add a little humour.
I love doing Zentangles so I decided to tie everything together with black lines and patterns. The whole process was very relaxing and ‘zen’ like.
Red Duck
….#3 of the transparency film collages
I’m really enjoying this technique and as promised I tried something other than flowers. One of my random cuts turned out to look like a duck so I built a landscape around him. I can only assume he’s a he because of his bright colours. I added some marker detail on the duck, such as an eye and feathers. After gluing everything down I felt there was too much white so I added a wash of colour with my Winsor Newton Promarkers.
A Sad Little Monster
….why is he sad Papa?
This was Winnie’s comment today. Kevin promised to make him a friend so he wouldn’t be sad. She seemed to like that answer.
Weekend Characters
…..a monkey and ‘Papa’ dog
Abstract Floral #2
….I’m loving this technique
I think I should come up with something other than flowers for the next collage but the the pieces I’ve already cut up will probably determine where I go from here.
Fishy Friday – A Day Late
…..”it’s a fishy, thank you Papa”
Abstract Floral Collage
….the first collage using the moon papers
After cutting up some of the printed transparency film I started to arrange the shapes onto one of the papers that I thought would make a nice background. Before gluing the pieces down I took a photo so that I would know what order and where to glue the pieces when I was reassembling the abstract still life.
Once all the pieces where glued in place I started to add some detail with white, black, gold and green gel. I think it helped bring some life into the piece.
Cute Dino
…..Winnie asked if this was a dinosaur or a scary slug. I said I was going for “cute dino” and she agreed
This is the conversation that my husband and our granddaughter had over What’s App about today’s drawing.
She then told my husband that this one is her favourite and she calls it sea slug. It was sent as a Monster Monday pic awhile back.
