Another sketchbook-page, using permanent markers to draw and just one colour tone. I really enjoy doing this. Ofcourse the markers are a challenge, because you cannot erase anything...
Just collect images and pictures which draw your attention and draw them in a page, and then start colouring them in dark and light tones or patterns and see where you end up.
In my sketchbook I glued some snippets of paper randomly. I skipped the page for a couple of months ;), but now I decided to tackle it in trying to draw a portrait out of it, using the snippets.
The start and the finish:
And the fun thing is, I find, that you would never have made this portrait without the snippets. So it brought me something new, surprising, and well maybe I do not like it, but it is the challenge to make something out of it... and I somehow do like it.
Morning fog is the title of a new painting I made. I love the soft colours and the mystery of the fog and clouds. I made it on a prepared canvas, which adds texture to it. When sunlight shines over it, it adds depth.
It is now in my Etsy-shop.
Thinking about Christmas at the moment... I always like to make something new. I had fun creating some patterns on paper, and now what to make of them? Cards, bunting, trees, tags? I'll see.
Wishing you a colourful week!
