Today I've been playing around with sketching cardinals and violins. Though they seem pretty unrelated, they are both part of a special project I've been working on.
The one on the left is a female cardinal, and the one on the right is the male.
Here's a close up of the violins. My favorite is the bottom right one :) I used different types of paper and fabric to make these.
I also spent quite a lot of time mixing up different types of greens. It may look tedious and boring, but I really love discovering new colors. There are so many types of greens, and this barely makes a dent in it. When I want to paint foliage, I can look at these colors, pick one, and mix it right up - it makes things a lot easier down the road!
It's always fun to play :)
Love it!! Green is such a difficult color!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, green is such a hard color to work with sometimes! I really enjoy finding different greens that have different moods - it's always interesting to see which ones work and which ones don't. :)
