A daily practice of sketching and painting gives you a chance to exercise the big three P's - practice, practice, practice!

Shhh… germination in progress. Can you hear the swish of the brush, dipping, dipping into water, gathering colour from the palette? That's the process of planting flowers in my watercolour garden. *•.¸ðŸŒ¿¸.•*

Sketching in old books

I continue to be impressed with your art.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of drawing/painting in old books. Lord knows I have a large collection to choose from. I just need to choose one and get to work.
Oh, yes, the three P's

Thank you Vicki! Yea, I was cleaning up to throw out and it was a spur of the moment thing! Now they're back in the shelf! And yes, remember the three P's!
ReplyDeleteOh, I know that scenario - clearing out then thinking of a brilliant new use for the almost discarded - back they go.... but this is great Maree - would love to see a whole old book re-created into something new.
ReplyDeleteYummy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy. One of the books is almost full...
ReplyDeleteGlad you like PJB!
