…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.
….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.

I love the close-up detail in art. Often you can’t get close enough to appreciate it. Here are some of the details picked up with my camera at the Monochrome Moments Show at WAAC this week.
Here are the complete pieces.

…inchies are 2” x 2” squares of watercolour paper
Amy Maricle turned me onto Inchies several years ago. She has several online classes that you can purchase and she frequently offers free workshops. She’s also written a book called Draw Yourself Calm https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/707819/draw-yourself-calm-by-amy-maricle/9780593541012
The Inchies on my new art page were created today (day 26) and are layered over art papers that I created a while ago.
…day 24 & 25
All the buildings and trees in this piece were made with one continuous line. Then the colour and details were added.
…adding water to the markers helped give it a watercolour effect
