Day 20, 30×30 direct watercolor challenge:

Two quick painting lessons from a Jay Lee youtube tutorial:

For the tree leaves, we made foil balls about 2″ in diameter, and brushed paint on them, and dabbed them onto the paper all over the branches. I was supposed to use acrylic paint and dip the foil ball in… next time I may try gouache for this. It was fun… try it!

 

Day 20:pen and ink sketch. With cat.

Just an ink sketch of dandelions. But they are one of my favorite things. And Slightly was being a real attention hound. 🙂 Which means I took like 20 pics of one sketch because I thought he was full of cuteness.

 

Actual drawing, no cat:

Another day I think I’ll color it in.
