Daily Timeout for Art #28

I went back to my roots for this one. I picked up a pencil and a picture and drew with a simple #2 a picture of a girl. The piece is entitled “Fairy lovely girl” because the girl kind of reminds me of a fantasy drawing of a fairy or a female elf.

Today’s offering entitled the “Sunflower” is a mixed media affair. The original sketch was done on an old book page and then enhanced digitally using “Art Studio.” As always any art work on my blog is for sale simply email me.

I have just started experimenting with colored pencil this year. I have used pastels before and thought the colored pencils would blend in a similar manner to the colored pencils but boy was I wrong. Colored pencils I have found have a temperament all their own but I am having fun learning what I can and can’t do with pencils. In that light today’s drawing entitled “Flowers in Boot” I had started last year but finished for this challenge. Please forgive me for bending the rules just a little.

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.

Today I decided to offer up a simple picture entitled The Butterfly.  The picture is a simple pencil outline filled in with colored pencil. While the piece is very subtle in nature I like the way it turned out.  I have learned over the years that sometimes the less fuss which goes into a piece of art the better the piece turns out.

I don’t why I seem to love the simplest forms of art like line drawings. Though when I step back and look the line drawings always seem unfinished to me and I feel the need to add color to them. Today’s offering entitled Penguins on the March is one such drawing. It is a line drawing done in ink and highlighted in watercolor pencil. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating the print.
