More on theme of simplicity

Will I find  a style that is 'me'? Maybe not. No importa! 








All inspired by Pinterest.

Inspired by the simplicity

The head lacks 'depth and the eye breadth; still I am happy with m first  "retrato". 

I was inspired by the simplicity of a water color on Pinterest and my upcoming trip to Melaque where I will meet these winged creatures.

A "Seagull" then:

Doodling becoming part of my daily life

At home mornings ... a wandering mind, the power of letting the mind wander without occupying itself with to do lists and goals... (Solitude).


Doodling while share meals with my mom who at this time in her life, likes to focus on eating and savouring rather than conversing.  At loss, I have turned to doodling. Too me, it is less a-social than turning to my phone, or to a book.  And the results are definitely more humorous! 

Satisfaction

I spent many many minutes today attempting to apply new techniques -that did not work- and creating colours. The result is my bookmarks to date.

Learning

Today, I spent hours exploring how to create colours,  and how to create effects on water colour paintings. I looked at colour wheels, videos on how to mix colours,  colour palettes, and videos on special techniques, using rice and rubbing alcohol (neither of which I had at home), salt and plastic wrap. I tried out the salt.  I created colours; I wanted after many tries; most importantly, I had fun.

Thanksgiving

Thank you  for fish, for Melaque, for geckos, turkeys, and for learning. Today, my goal was to be able to sketch a basic turkey shape at will. I followed the gobble path on Google.

Turkey hand with sample heads. :-) 

In search of paper

Today, I finally tried my sister's paper- really does make a difference. With a little bit of drama, I managed to purchase us both some better quality paper.

First and second bookmark... 

Also, just for fun

Sent as an e-birthday card today

More on birthday cards (cute birds) and cats!

A new cute bird to add quickly to a card:









Different ways of looking at space - one-line drawing of a cat (thinking of Princess, a cat I know).
