a glimpse into my sketchbook

I have been wanting to paint these girls as often as I get a chance lately...
and since I have foxes on my mind, i added the fox, Marigold. I first drew him over a year ago, there's a post here about how he came about....

(again, too dark in my house to get a good photo, I had to try to lighten them in photoshop. We are getting warmer weather but today is dark and rainy) but anyway.... Meet Fern, Marigold and Caroleander.....

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!
