I gathered
together 5 quick sketches from last week, all are about nature, the strongest
source of inspiration for me, all are done observing the real object, not photo. Viva the spring!
The first drawing was executed with Neocolor watercolor sticks and strong watercolor washes above them. At some point I realized that the sketch was ruined and this idea gave me further freedom which I liked very much!
The second sketch is about Bergenia at parent's place. Ha, Blogger does not recognize this word, "bergenia", me neither, so maybe it is not bergenia at all.
The 3rd, 4th and 5th sketches are done with water-friendly ink. Usually I try to be very careful and not to touch ink lines with brush. And it never works. So sketches of this sort are usually too dark and "values confused"...
Hi Irina. Die zweite ist eine Bergenie. Die wächst bei mir im Garten.
ReplyDeleteAlle Bilder gefallen mir ausgezeichnet. Du hast wirklich ein gutes Händchen für Pflanzen...smile.
Grüsse Dich

Hi Irina, very good sketches! Watersoluble ink and sticks are tricky to combine with watercolor, but your sketches look good! Have a good week!

ReplyDeleteI've never worked with watercolor sticks, but I like all of your botanicals.
ReplyDeletesometimes, if you realized you messed up and it doesn't matter anymore, it can be very freeing.
