water colour

this is a small part of the big poster from dawn's workshop. it's not finished~ it needs more line work and maybe a little more colour in places. it was really fun watching it come together {with lots of help}. watching people work is the best way to learn new things.
dawn posted a couple of pics of us working hard here!

watercolour painting with dawn tan

tomorrow night is the first night of this great class i've signed up for ~ i can't wait!
you can see all the details about it in the harvest work room shop. dawn tan's style is just gorgeous ~ check out her blog here.

also very excited about the first day of spring tomorrow. we've had 3 days of solid sickness here ~ so much stress and worrying . . . it will be nice to see the tail end of winter!

hope you are doing well.

colouring

i have been really enjoying drawing these cars, their character develops as i am drawing sometimes without me realising it. the 3b seems to be almost liquid, like paint on the heavy drawing paper. i like the effect of semi-erasing the lines for the exhaust.
the top one has some gouache and watercolour – thought i'd do some colouring! if cars could be professional then this top one is definitely a pro.
