I hadn't put too much in my sketchbook for a long while until the girls and flowers i showed recently.....
then i started doing these....
I put down random blobs of watercolor,
let it dry and drew around what i could see,
not a new idea or anything,
i've seen lots of books or blogs where people do this,
but i hadn't in awhile, and it's sort of addicting and fun.
Plus i end up seeing and drawing things i never would have drawn that way without trying this,
...like this little fox.
He showed up in green, sort of fox-like but not really.
so then i tried him again on a paint chip named marigold.
So now I have this character, Marigold, the fox. I like him...
Happy paint party friday and hello all at Artists Play room! and hello to the creative everyday people!
I love him. There is something so cute about him. I just want to see what kind of fun he will get into. What a wonderful way to create an adorable character.
