In light of my recent decision to play with my watercolours again, but to change to a more relaxed style, I thought I'd show you a few of my Botanicals done on our summer travels. I drew from life , lightly with pencil, inked with India Ink and a Crow Quill Mapping pen, and then painted. They were generally done in a day because next day, we were somewhere else.

I hope you enjoy these! I certainly enjoyed doing them, despite my family's frustration ;-) If you have any questions, fire away!
Absolutely beautiful. You really have talent:)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Mary Ann. I really appreciate your comment!
DeleteHi !
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore your botanicals ... wow !! So much talent !
Thanks for your last note ... you spurred me forward and I think I am back into my blog ... yahoo !!
ps. I happen to like the new look of your blog and I'm sure you'll get used to it ... you may get a similar look back as it is fairly easy to 're-do' colours/fonts/styles/etc.
Wonderful work going on !
Your watercolour sketches are superb Carolynn - very lovely detailed drawings and beautifully painted....
