Fire is the subject of today’s art challenge. I started out drawing the usual lantern but then I thought no. I wanted to do something else so of course I chose a candle but a candle with a special flame. The piece was sketched in pencil then redone in ink and filled in with watercolor and colored pencils. I hope you like it.
Today’s challenge was to draw a rainbow. I went through a number of idea with putting rainbows in different landscape scenes but thought to myself “how usual.” I decided to take a simple pen drawing of a women holding some balloons and add some color. The piece is entitled “Rainbow of Balloons.”
Today’s challenge was to draw or paint a puddle. I will have to do one later. Instead I went one better and did a pen drawing entitled, “The Quiet Pond in Winter.” The drawing is done entirely in pen with a little grey colored pencil highlights.
I saw this picture of a “Bonsai Tree,” and decided I needed to draw it in pen. I was going to color the picture in but when I did it seemed to loose some of it’s character. The colored picture is available to view on my Pinterest page.
I love doing different things with my art. Today’s offering “Brown Sheep in Meadow,” is one of those experiments. I took simple picture of sheep, drew it in cartoon form then added a cut out for the wool. After I had my picture in place I took some watercolor pencils and lightly created a background then colored it in more with colored pencils.
While the picture is not one of my favorite creations I do like the finished product.
A little offering,”Little Blue Bird,” done in ink and acrylic on an old book page. I like the pop of color in this piece but if I did it all over again I would make the bird a little more transparent so the words on the page bleed through.
While “A Man and His Dog,” is not one of my favorite creations it is still a piece of art I created during this long journey of my yearlong art challenge. This one started out as a line drawing, enhanced with blue ink and them colored digitally. I hope to one day revisit this drawing and redo it maybe with colored pencil or another medium.
Love this bloggers work
Recently I saw some blue pen drawings on Pinterest which fascinated my artistic stirrings. While today’s offering “Blue Vase/Red Flowers” has some aspects of what I saw on Pinterest I added some colored pencil to give it a little contrast.
