We haven’t owned a dog for a number of years and we’ve only ever had one cat but we did cat sit our neighbours cat a few times when she was in care.

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.

….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.
