My Muse has okayed my new "relaxation" project.....;)))
I treated myself to a set of 72 Prismacolor pencils and have begun working in my trial coloring book...
Here is what I have accomplished so far--working on blending and shading before attempting
a more complicated book of drawings...(This one is by Selina Fenech--"Enchanted --Magical Forest")--such a nice assemblage of drawings -- very mythical--
this one is entitled "Blodeuwedd"-- which I had to look up--it means literally "Flower Face" and it comes from an old Welsh myth..
.
As a child I always loved to color and shade and outline....I never had any art classes when I was in school--jut not in the curriculum then; so I am doing a lot of YouTube video and UStream watching and gleaning what I can about how to learn about colors....
I LOVE color and want to know enough to begin to do some real watercoloring work.
These drawings are complicated--trying to figure out where the leaves end and the central Flower she sits on begin...
Above I have chosen 4 greens (dk,, med, light + olive), one Siena Brown and one purple-ey maroon.
I thought these leaves kind of resembled Coleuses...so--being "the boss" of my coloring book (LOL)
I am forging ahead with that idea in mind....
SUCH FUN!!!! ;))))
On the quilt front...
I have finished all of Connor's blocks--they are pinned on my wall and I will start to sew rows together this weekend...
Tonight we will be meeting with two other couples for our yearly foray out to dinner where they specialize in a yearly October Fest menu..SO, no cooking tonight....
