The original post of this goes back a ways, to 17 July 2020. I’m back playing with color pencils, which take time to get the results I like, so it’s been slow going for a few days. This one was originally watercolor, now overlayed with the color pencil. It’s probably not finished, but I’m not sure how much more time I want to put into it.
Going back to the original pencil sketch, I’m not so sure this is an improvement. But, colors!
I again have a backlog of drawings and paintings that I want to put more work into, rather than starting more new things. So, here are a few of the postcard-sized watercolors I made the week I was away.
I have a few more to post tomorrow, and we’ll see what happens after that!
I didn’t push myself very hard to make art; I was too busy doing vacation things like kayaking on the beautiful lake, taking walks, playing games with my family and so on. Here’s the one rather slapdash watercolor I made from my cabin porch. I also made several 3″ x 5″ postcard watercolors, which I may post tomorrow.
I have a policy of not apologizing for or excusing any of my daily arts. But I would like to say that this is the kind of thing that can happen when your stomach is really upset and you don’t feel like making art, and do it anyway because that is the practice.
