Sunday Sketches - Pretty in Pink




Welcome to Sunday Sketches! This mixed media piece is called 'Pretty in Pink' done in watercolour pencil with tiny heart stickers. It's in my art journal (8 1/2" x 11"). I was inspired by a ruffled pink sweater I saw in the newspaper. The tiny hearts evolved when I somehow made a slight hole in the paper in the upper left corner and I decided the stickers would cover it beautifully and save the piece! Thanks for stopping by to see some creative fun/repair work today!

    I bet someone broke her heart into pieces and they are floating all around her. Good idea Using the hearts to cover up a tear!! You did a great job on her. I just don't do people much.

    Even men wear pink, it seems.

    She is so pretty indeed and I love the heart accents. I think they definitely enhance the piece.

    Well, I think those hearts work well.

    Pink is my favourite colour - I love this sketch.
    Pink is also our youngest grand-daughters favourite colour, as you can see here ... picture taken in July 2015.
