Sunday Sketches - Whimsy


Welcome to Alexandra's Sunday Sketches! This is a bit of whimsy for you today, based on a photo I took recently. It's done in my art journal in watercolour pencil and crayon (8 1/2" x 11").

Here is the photo. I actually did see the yellow sun peeking through the heart shaped hole but it was almost gone by the time I got my camera ready. The skies change in moments.

I love to see through an artist's eye! Most people would have seen the bare trees and dramatic sky. But you saw the heart and made into this whimsical beauty. Nice.

Nice looking art and image. Very different scene in Hawaii.

You did so well to capture the heart in your photo.
Hasn't it 'translated' to a sketch well.

I like it

All the best Jan

Skies are fascinating, and so much fun to paint and draw. How great that you were able to capture that image as a photo, and then to do it again as a drawing.
