playing in my sketchbook

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!

  11. Great idea! And that fox is so cute. I like how you separated him from the rest in the last picture. And in the paint blobs that you didn't draw around I can see a standing figure ... ;-)
