and just a bit of colour

 

The monochromatic digitally painted. The sky was effected by that outside :)

Program - artrage4, watercolour and prisma crayons.

A monochromatic morning

Decided to paint something that did not require to much thought this morning. I got a blue tit reference from the web and then put on some you tube Adele and 7 songs later this little 5x7 digital watercolour was finished (I hope). Unlike other paintings I resisted the urge to use my prisma colour pencils (digital). Ahh well it is a good this was a quickie for my monsters are now beckoning. :)

Creating Lino cut like prints via photoshop

coloured illustration to black and white lino print to coloured/inked lino print.

I saw an interesting job up on a freelance site and it asked for lino cut prints - traditional or computer generated. I had not a clue how to do this, but figured it should be possible. So I went off to google and play and this is the result. Yup I am rather happy with it :) This might be because I do not know the difference LOL

Hope you all have a happy weekend and please join our friends at Sunday Sketches. 

Thinking of Halloween

I am thinking of Halloween and sort of scaring myself :)

Sleepy owls on a Sunday

Ahh back to the birds again :) Here are two sleepy white owls - a mama and baba. They are inspired from this little needle felting I did (below).  They are a digital painting using digital watercolour and "prismas" pencils.

Hope you have a great Sunday :)

Expectation on a Sunday

Below was my inspiration for this painting -  a little needle felted doll I made a couple weeks ago. It is funny how when you start to do something it seems to take a life of it own. The end painting was not what I expected as I am not a vintage chic person, however I covered an old diary (with lots of blank pages) to use as a journal of sorts and alas that also ended up being vintage chic. So I am being to think I am a closet vintage chic person - "gasp!"
Hope you all have a happy Sunday and please join our friends at Sunday Sketches.

a naked bear

Was practicing felting the last two days and made a little teddy. I like him but ... maybe he is a bit too naked ? :)

Catosity

I did this a little earlier this week and wanted to play :) So here is my SS entry and  remember to visit the cool friends at Sunday Sketches. 
Hope you have a wonderful week :)

creating a portfolio

For a while I have been trying to compile a portfolio as I am told it is a must. So after many months ( more than a year) of starting, stopping, hemming and hawing I think I have finally done one. This is little illustration comes from a felting I did and used as my "cover". There is still some fine tuning (and proof reading)  I need to do to the portfolio but I have published it and would love some feedback if you got a moment.  To see it click here

Wishing you all a happy Sunday and Sunday Sketchs
:)

p.s I used Wix.com free template to create the portfolio which is really cool at it is easy to use with all the gizmos I wanted, however to get rid of the ads I need to upgrade.
