| Seed Heads |
Hello everybody, I hope you've all had a good week.
Following on from my
previous post and the photo's of the seed heads I decided to do a bit
of sketching.
*********************************************
My sketch books are never far from reach and having a
nosey through them I found some old seed head sketches so I added some
new ones.
One of these looks like exploding clouds or popcorn or even sheep on sticks.

These dandelion heads are sketched using pencil, watercolour paints and chalk.

I also collect seeds and other items when I'm out and about then tape them into the sketchbook.

These preliminary sketches will eventually form the basis of some paintings
I'm planning, I'd like to do some bright, colourful abstract
paintings for my summer exhibition so I'll keep you posted, meanwhile
I'm off to check out more blogs over at the Handmade Harbour Link up

Lovely drawings the way you make them so delicate - you could make these into a fabric design with Spoonflower!
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely, I do like the pencil sketches and love the flow of the last one
ReplyDeleteI like your sycamore pages especially, the purple and green one is particularly nice.
ReplyDeleteI collect pretty things as inspiration when i'm out walking too... I keep seeing so many beautiful dried leaves and seed heads at the moment i have to restrain myself from bringing handfuls back to the house with me! (part of the reason i had so much fun making a birds nest this week :))
ReplyDeleteYour sketches are beautiful.. full of life and movement, i can't wait to get a glimpse of the abstract artwork you're planning, it sounds amazing!! x
Love your sketching, looking forward to seeing the end result of the paintings :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - wish I could draw! Look forward to seeing the finished results as well.
ReplyDeleteSeedheads are lovely, and really interesting to see your sketchbooks.
ReplyDeleteYour drawings are wonderful so I'm sure your paintings will be fantastic. I cannot draw for toffee so I'm really jealous ;)
ReplyDeleteWow. you have such a lovely touch. I am now going to say something a bit silly but I hope you will understand: They are simple but also detailed or deep. The more I look at them the more I see. I am really looking forward to seeing more developments.
ReplyDeleteYour sketches are brilliant I can't wait to see your finished paintings
ReplyDeleteOhhh those sketches are lovely! I can't wait to see the paintings they inspire :-) Simmi x
ReplyDeleteThey are soooooo lovely. I can just about manage a tree and would really like to be able to put on paper what I see - my interpretation never works out that way though. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteLove these sketches. I do envy people who can draw, though I have and am having a dabble at painting!! Woo Hoo!
ReplyDeleteHugs

I really like the dandelion seed heads, and the combination of pencil,water colours and chalk.
