Scribble Picnic - Books


Welcome to Michael's Scribble Picnic! The theme this week is 'Books' and here is my piece on cardstock (4 1/2" x 6 1/2"). I used my permanent dual tip markers. I love the way they are absorbed into the paper, leaving well-defined colour. I used a darker pink watercolour pencil on the orchid to give it more emphasis. It sort of looks like the bottle of wine is being drunk without a glass there, my mistake!

Love your sketch and the tender colours. Perhaps the reader was drinking from the bottle? Glad you are having fun with your new markers. Hugs, Valerie

Cheers Christine - I love rosé wine in the warmer months, and the Spanish ones are always sooo good!
I wonder what story will unfold within the pages of your pretty book!
Happy day - Mary

Christine,
This is lovely. Soft and sweet. I guess we can assume the glass of wine is in the hand of the viewer. It's great to be back.

I love how you brought that composition together with the pink. Such a pretty shade and a great drawing.

Michael said...

Oh, you lush, you, Christine! Right out of the bottle, eh? :) Wonderful illo and I love the muted palette. Looks fabulous. Also, I love how you took the coloured pencil for the orchid for additional pop. Great job! Thank you so much.

Well done. There are days when you should just drink from the bottle!
