Peony - Liquid Watercolors

This paper is not too happy about wet media but on the other hand it creates this soaked-wet feeling as if everything was drawn wet-in-wet - I like it :)

On My Kitchen Table - Cabbage

Cabbage was too good - we ate it before it got a chance to be drawn again...

Tulip Tree Flowers

Chestnut Trees

 This was the last page of my sketchbook #81:

Tulip Tree is Blooming!

On my Balcony.

Another spinning plant :)

Drawing geese on a stroll through the mud.

I was drawing mud exposed by the low tide when a family of busy geese entered my territory and then completely occupied all my attention :)

Liquid Watercolors

I've been playing with the liquid watercolors - enjoying brightness and purity of colors (which will probably fade pretty quickly as liquid watercolors are not lightfast) but the most intriguing for me thing is that I keep diluting them :) It's already 1/3 from the original (image below if painted with the original and I hope to scan some more recent images to share soon :)

"Take a Book - Return a Book" Mini Library in My Neighborhood

I recently found "Take a Book - Return a Book" mini library in my neighborhood and went to sketch it. Between the day of discovery and the day I was sketching about 30% books were new/different - it works - at least half way :)
 

Fucsia

I got myself an endlessly spinning subject to draw: hanging fucsia plant :) Together with some liquid watercolors they entertain me frequently :)
