I joined the water colour crafternoon a few weeks back, and ended up having so much fun! I'm just not 100% happy using water colour - I think it's because it feels so uncontrolled (yes, I suppose at times I can be a control freak). Maybe I need to try it more often. Still had fun painting though.
Here's what we did at the first water colour workshop - learning about the basics, and washes, controlling the brush, and then we had to paint a leaf. Here's a sneak peak:
The next one I missed, but at the third one we had to copy something out of a book. I picked up a book of Eileen Gray's work and just picked this picture. We also introduced charcoal. I think this is horrible, but I'll share it anyway:
Today's workshop was about the basics of illustration or drawing. We each had to draw a stick man, and from there we spent more attention on the detail - we then had to draw a face, and then eyes. Here's a sneak peak from today, we just used pencil:
So, when last did you just draw something, or paint something? Note to self - I really should do this more often.
