Trees, Birds, Mushrooms and Flowers

For my inspiration I've been going through the book '20 Ways to Draw a Tree and 44 Other Nifty Things from Nature' by Eloise Renouf

The sketchbook pages are 15cm square.

And this is it as a repeating fabric design [or wrap]

Pages from a Sketchbook

I've had visitors this week so I've not had a chance to post anything or do much art. Here are a few miscellaneous drawings and paintings from my little 4"x 4" sketchbook.

 

Not to Scale

First the ink drawing,

Where's the Chimp?

Another page from sketchbook 61. 

I started with an ink drawing then painted with watercolours.

Happy Paint Party Friday

I took some ideas from an history book of ancient art, some were altered such as the long necked creature.
