Welcome to March!
For Sunday Sketches, I painted an image of an old door on (6"x 6") acid free cardstock. I used my new watercolour crayons and love their effect (see yesterday's post). They are like watercolour pencils yet different. I just like that they are mess free and so easy to use. I am imagining a pottery store behind these doors, hence the name 'Terra Cotta'. It seems I am starting a series of these (see Friday's post). Daughter L painted the words 'Terra Cotta' for me, she is good at lettering.

I love watercolor crayons too! such fun. I love our door picture you did... and fun to have our daughter help out with the lettering. Great job. I enjoyed visiting from Sunday Sketches today!! Have a great rest of the night!
ReplyDeleteLovely door painting, doors can really be so fascinating. Valerie
ReplyDeleteShe is good at lettering. It's funny though, even before I read your post, the words looked like they came from another artist. Close to you, but not you.
ReplyDeleteNeat stuff.
Ivy that's an interesting observation, you are very perceptive. It was fun, L asked me what type of lettering I was thinking of and we discussed what I wanted and we settled on this.
DeletePerfect selection you girls made.
DeleteIs it snowing there? Been since four am here. No wait, looks like it might have stopped.
So glad your enjoying anything watercolor.... It so fun and easy to clean up when your done. ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely work!
ReplyDeleteI like the lettering and the colors.
ReplyDeleteLovely artwork!
ReplyDeleteWatercolor crayons and pencils can be such fun ~ they're highly portable! But then again, I can find a reason to LoVe any medium! In any event, you've created another lovely doorway, and doorways (to me) can be powerful metaphors ~ in other words, Medicine. With that ~ may you enJOY your journey through these portals of your making!
ReplyDeleteThis picture looks great! I knew you would love the watercolor crayons. Your daughter's lettering skills are wonderful and the texture of your cardstock looks interesting too.
ReplyDeleteWhat soft and pretty doors! It's fun to imagine what's behind them, what a lovely series. Wonderful lettering by your daughter.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Christine!
ReplyDeleteLove the effect - nice sketch.
ReplyDeleteI love it. Looking forward to see more of what you do with those watercolor crayons.
