Welcome to Alexandra's Sunday Sketches! This piece is done in my art journal in watercolour crayon, waterproof black artist pen, and washi tape. The piece evolved from some photos I saw in a department store brochure. I am calling it 'Placemats - $2.99' why not?
Alexandra is having a wonderful contest for next week's Sunday Sketches, please check it out!
What a fun sketch, love all the detail! Happy Sunday, hugs, Valerie

What a cute idea to include the washi tape! I've seen other artists using it also. Creative title too! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe details! Nice.
ReplyDeleteThis is SO clever. Well done!
ReplyDeletegreat sketch... it's always interesting to see where one's inspiration comes from. hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteWonderful illustration of placemats!
ReplyDeleteHappy Week to you ~ ^_^
What a wonderful title for this drawing. Perfect. I am recently using woven placemats with grays, blacks, beiges and browns. Found them at Wally World and love them...and they may well have been 2.99. Love the pen work. I am curious to know what pen you use that is really waterproof. I keep ordering them and they always bleed or else clog up. I get so frustrated. I wait for the work to dry to avoid the clogging and if I do not wait long enough I get some bleeding.
ReplyDeleteGenie it's a Faber-Castell pitt artist pen black 199, it seems to work well, I have brushed water over it and no bleeding luckily so far!
DeleteLook amazing !
