Rain's Thursday Art Date - Transformation



Happy New Year and welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date's 'Transformation' theme. My piece is done on textured purple cardstock in Sharpie oil markers outlined with a black PITT pen. I did three simple leaf forms curving across the page, at various stages of the year. The first leaf is green, the next is yellow and the third is winter white.  Each leaf reflects a bit of grey shadow beneath it. I think it adds a more realistic touch to the piece, some depth if you will.

  6. Christine,

    The earth transforms. That's a cool subject to illustrate. Although it's barely winter, the days and weeks will roll by fast soon we'll see new life springing forth as nature wakes from her slumber. I always enjoy seeing the newness again. Here's to all good things in 2020 to greet you each day of the new year, dear friend!
