round

Practicing textured backgrounds on wood. Mixed media is MUCH harder than watercolor.

A floral botanical illustration around the words of the famous poem and hymn by Cecil Alexander "All Things Bright & Beautiful'. Drawn in pen & ink with another on the way...'All creatures great & small.

Just a play around with acrylics on canvas board, really proud of this one

This one was fun. I was using drawing ink on palette paper to paint this one. Then I dropped my palette paper ON my drawing. Instead of deciding I messed it up, I used the palette paper to 'finish' the background. :)

This is my 3rd time drawing St. Basil's Cathedral. Completed by Uni pin 0.1. It takes so much less time this round.

Inspired by nature. Background layer of the pages are covered by Greenpeace's newsletter papers and used mixed technique with acrylic, ecoline and markers.

Pencil and ink drawing with watercolor and threaded background. 12x12

Playing around with bird patterns. I scanned in all my watercolor birds and then arranged them with GIMP.

Commuters in Berlin U-train-lines U1 and U2.

Goofing around with ink droppers and dogs. I was experimenting with this and he was the first one and I thought he looked fun.

Daily Painting Challenge 4 - argyle Following the daily painting challenge with Lisa Congdon over at CreativeBug though I haven't quite managed to keep up daily. Still, it's wonderful picking the brush up again and splashing around with paint!

This piece began as a multi-colored abstract . . . but it was nowhere . . . nothing . . . and had no essence. So, I tried to take it in the direction of a landscape . . . and that was horrible. I gave the entire piece a whitewash using a white acrylic paint pen. And then the idea popped into my head to Doodle over the colored background. The title reflects the fact that the piece only came to life with the addition of the Doodles . . .

Work i did way back 1996. I was playing around with pastel, colored pencils and ink.

This is my first image I'm going to post on here. It is nothing like most of the other art on here, but I hope that's fine. I was on vacation and just decided to do something with a black background.

Painting and drawing with my grandchildren today showing them how to allow a painting to emerge from a watercolour and plastic wrap background. This visiting Angel emerged.
