While I have been posting all the inky art and little house art and new quilt pieces I have done, I have also been quietly doing quick pages in a small travel sketchbook that goes with me on my lunch hours. These are almost always nature inspired, so today I am posting a bunch of these, along with some photos taken at the same time. It has been colder here but I still found the mushroom this week. The negative paintings were done with a quick pencil sketch then I just painted around the pencil, I would have been easier to use a masking fluid but since I am usually out and about I didn't have that with me. I will try to do a post showing my travel (lunch hour) supplies soon, to show you the bare essentials I carry everywhere.
these are so marvelous Andrea, and I really like the negative space drawings! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteyou've been inspired to make some beautiful art. I especially love that ginkgo leaf. They've been on my list to attempt for so long. Gorgeous! Visiting From PPF. Oh, my new blog is now live on my new wordpress site (justaddwatersilly.com) and I'm doing a giveaway tomorrow (Sunday). The giveaway will include a DIY Altoids tin with magnetic half pans, pencil & eraser, Hahnemuhle Grey Book toned paper sketchbook, Micron sigma pens, a Grumbacher watercolor brush and a bee magnet! Hope to see you there!
ReplyDeletegreat use of negative space on some of them :)
ReplyDeleteWow! So many lovely photos and renderings Andrea! I am so impressed by the volume of creativity you make the time to bring forth! It makes me soon happy to know you go into the world each day prepared to capture whatever you might discover and I look forward to seeing that "essentials" post. :) . The frost image is so enchanting. I can't think of too many things more so in our natural world. . . I do miss that from living in colder climates than ours.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy this type of art, haven't seen much of it, beautiful. Blessings, Janet
