This week I needed to get some fresh air and clear my head.
My creative space moved outdoors.
Where I sat and sketched some new ideas.
And lay on a blanket enjoying the morning sun.
And the view of the Botanical Gardens.
And when I came home, I gave Petal a wash of watercolour. I have kept the original black and white but The Coach printed me some copies on watercolour paper to play with, thank-you for the suggestion peeps.For more creative words and pictures go and visit Kirsty, it's a regular party over at her place. Thanks Kirsty.
It is amazing how good sunshine is for your soul. While I still love the black and white, the subtle colours on Petal look great.
ReplyDeleteI love the the fact you've experimented with colour. She is just beautiful.
ReplyDeletelove your drawings.
ReplyDeleteWow - your pictures are amazing. Love the softness of the colour - sweet.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to get outdoors. Fresh air and sunshine - love it!
Ahhh as always I am so in love with/jealous of your drawings :)...Beautiful and what a great excuse to get outside and enjoy the fresh air.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful drawings honey! wow! Glad you are enjoying some lovely sunshine, it's so inspiring isn't it? xo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Hasn't the weather been divine? I really love what you've done with the drawing - I love it :) K
ReplyDeleteah nothing like a little fresh air and watercolor wash I say!
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented in your drawings. Sounds like a great combination fresh air and some watercolour.
ReplyDeletePetal looks amazing! I think I'm in need of some fresh air too, it's so nice drawing outside!
ReplyDeleteJealous!!! I so need to just grab all my hand sewing, the picnic blanket and head outside. Love the drawing, so special.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been perfect in the gardens today! Great place to create. Love your drawing!
ReplyDeleteGreat to get outside - and the results are wonderful - love the little eyes peering over the edge. The watercolour wash looks fab - good choice!
ReplyDeleteAmazing what some warmer weather, sunshine and blue skies can do for some creative energy.....
ReplyDeleteOnce again, thank-you all so much for meandering over & leaving your lovely comments. The sun was the cake but all you kind peeps are the cherry on top :)
ReplyDeleteI love your drawing and think it looks beautiful with and without colour!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for experimenting on photocopies. It can be super stressful adding to a piece, especially when you are really happy with it as it is. There is always that tentative moment where you wonder if you are going to ruin it...Ooh horrible feeling! You should feel very happy though as the colour wash looks exquisite! x
i really admire your great gift. how delicious sitting in the sun and drawing. love the watercoloured sketch
ReplyDeleteOh, it is all so lovely! Those gardens look like just the spot for some creating. You truly are a talented artist.
