Doodlewash Challenge - Village - Watercolour Sketch

I couldn't resist adding eyes to this potato that had a nose.

Stick on eyes above, digital eyes below.

It's a face so I can join Friday Face Off

I've combined digital [the background] with watercolour [tree]

 

More Sketchbook Revival

Day 8 with Karen Stamper - Colorful characters.

A figure was found on the web, printed then the shape was used to cut from bright papers.

I used the back of the original print on the collage below. There was something already printed on the other side from another project. I used the cut out to paint around it.

I used the cut out as a stencil

Day 12 with Angela Fehr - Developing your intuitive style through spontaneous watercolour

I took a section of this, replicated and turned it etc to make a repeating pattern

Day 9 with Toni Burt - Sunshine on a cloudy day

Day 13 with Brandon Dean Johnson - Rough cartoon sketching

Day 13 with Karen Abend - Closing session - explore ideas, colour and meaning in a mini doodle diary.

This little accordion book was made with computer paper so is quite flimsy. I like to do the sessions while watching, sometimes it is impossible and I have to pause it but for this one I was way in front at times as I did really simple drawings. I used pen and coloured pencils apart from the house which was painted with watercolour.

I've not done all the sessions but I may do some more if the mood takes me

Day 8 with Roisin Cure - Beach Bodies: The life drawing class everyone can attend.

Day 9 with Alina Smolyansky - Healing and Dreaming with Neurographic Art.

I don't think I did this one as shown, I got lost along the way and did my own scribble. I guess I was still inspired by what I did see.

Day 11 with Este Macleod - One, two, tree : three fun approaches to create trees in watercolor

I made a little leaf out of fun foam as a stamp which I used on the tree on the left

Day 11 with Joy Ting Charde - Colourful landscapes

Day 6 with Elizabeth Foley - Expressing emotions with intentional mark making.

With this one we were supposed to see shapes and colours with thinking of a memory but that was not happening so I just made some marks with watercolour, then a few days later put on more pattern with a white pen.

I received my copy of the Twitter Art Exhibit Book for 2022 last month. I don't know if it has pictures of every postcard sent in but there are a lot. My postcard is the hare with sunflowers. It is over and done with for this year but they are advertising for next years event which will be held in Vancouver to support UNYAyouth.{Urban Native Youth association}. Anyone can send in a postcard so why don't you have a go?
