A 365 day art project… one drawing a day
But it survived. Aaaaaaand…. that is literally my most exciting news.
As I am still healthy (yay!!!) and a serious homebody, I’m not minding “lockdown” at all. But the days DO blur into each other. Clara did eat said bee, but she dropped it when I told her to. So the natural balance is restored. Maybe?
A school with no kids coming back (and it’s not summer break!) is sad. A tiny plastic horse waits for their return in the parking lot.
Life moves on!
Cherry blossom feast, Chesapeake, VA, (my front yard!) April 5, 2019. Daniel Smith watercolor paints (phthalo turquoise, lunar red rock, piemontite, quinacridone gold, and a bit of bloodstone added to the bee. I also used lunar blue as under-shadows. Sketched and painted (without a pencil, yay me!!) in my handmade journal of Arches cold pressed paper. These colors are sweet together. Play around with piemontite or lunar red rock, phthalo turquoise, and quin gold. Really fun.
Another Peter Sheeler tutorial (it’s been a long time since I did one of these!), a bee and thistle. Tomorrow I will add the color.
From yesterday’s drawing… I’m really happy with this one. And best of all, no tutorial needed!!! A breakthrough!! (I’m going to keep following tutorials, though. I love them.)
A quick little bumblebee because I’m running behind. But I’ll work on him more tonight or tomorrow!
