Seashell sketches ~ drawn with a HB pencil and painted with watercolours. I drew rough pencil outlines and filled in with watercolours.
These are the very first sketches I’ve done since I was in Secondary School, which was the better part of 40 years ago – I’m VERY out of practice! For my first attempts, I’m reasonably pleased with them.
My goal this year is to draw and sketch more and paint them with watercolours. At school I used to be reasonably good at drawing – but sadly the teaching and motivation I got from the art (and needlework) teacher was virtually nonexistent…!
I was inspired to do these by Anna Warren – her sketches in her blog posts Sketching in Tasmania and Freycinet – from the sketchbook are just lovely. Do have a look…
(NB – week 2 of the Surface Treatment Workshop will be next Wednesday instead of today – life got in the way…. as it does… !)
These are so beautiful, Evelyn!
I SO wish I could draw/sketch/paint (even just one of them!!!), but sadly, I don’t think even one ounce of talent is there for me!! 🙂
Happy day to you, my friend!
Thank you so much Lisa – I really enjoyed doing these! I think drawing just takes a little practice – I’m sure you do have some talent hidden away really!
These are beautiful Evelyn, you have done a great job – I especially like the textures you have created. Looking forward to seeing lots more! (Thank you for the link back too!)
Thank you Anna for the inspiration – I am definitely going to do a lot more… !
