Hectic holidays make the peace of the New Year so welcome
I couldn’t wait to get back into my art routine of daily drawing
Nothing makes me happier than my tray of markers, pencils and pens…
just looking at it makes me smile, a buffet of possibilities!
I heard someone say that you shouldn’t make a New Year’s Resolution, you should make a New Year’s commitment…so this little sketch represents my New Year’s commitment
I want to embrace every moment…
Even waking up to 23 degrees and no running water ❄️ 😳 ❄️
I made some other commitments too, involving health and fitness,
but this one is for my mental health, as is daily sketching
This flower began with a line sketch,
followed by the addition of watercolor brush pen strokes
and now blended
Next, softening and adding color with colored pencils
I really exaggerated the colors and tones
Adding dimension with line
Just let your pen go, and see what grows…
Flower Power!
Have you made any resolutions or commitments for 2018?
Be Fearless!
