Fearless Friday, Magic Potion

Halloween is popping up all over the place

and this has me feeling a little “witchy”

Today I thought it would be fun to brew up a magic potion

And put it in a bottle…

Let’s start with the bottle

A pencil sketch to start

When drawing a symmetrical object like this bottle

sometimes it helps to draw one side

and then turn it upside down and draw the other side

The bottle isn’t perfect,

but when I add the potion,

there will be a lot things going on

and it won’t be noticable

Colored shapes are mingling to create the magic potion

Some of the magic potion has escaped!

Splatter and fine lines indicating shadow are added

for finishing touches

“Magic Potion” 9″ x 7″ watercolor, marker and ink on mixed media paper

Be Fearless!

    Hey, Jenna,
    checking in to let you know I am still kicking over here in Georgia and now looking at your latest FEARLESS FRIDAY. Between fall cleaning (the Augean Stables come to mind here) and car repairs I have been so busy. But today I am loving your bottle. Love this time of year, it makes me hear the crunch on leaves, smell fall, and think of some of your great recipes I will also check out. Happy Fall, dear Jenna~! Shelia aka Georgia Gal

    Hi Jenna, that’s a fantastic tip about turning the drawing upside down when drawing something symmetrical. I love that the magic potion has escaped the bottle and the spatter and fie lines! What a lovely creative painting and I adore the witch too. Take care down there and I hope that PTC #9 peters out in the Gulf and doesn’t bother anybody!!

  11. This is so cute and festive!
