2012 Planner #1 - #5

Putting flowers in this year's Moleskine planner. It is the 2-1/2" x 4-1/4" model. Tiny.

The size is perfect for practicing one or two flowers on a page. After lightly sketching lines for the first two flowers with pencil, I could not see the lines. I could not see the watercolor edges. Had to grab a magnifier for a few brush strokes. Switched to ink outlines for the flowers done after these.

Brown Paper Drawings #1 & #2

Even though my vision is poor, I had the bright idea to make a brown paper book. Pencil lines disappear on this paper. Ink lines are questionable. Colors are chosen by what is printed on the pencil. Fun times.

That is the most stupid owl I have ever seen. It is an insult to all owls. Sadly, I will admit the drawing is mine.

More tree practice. I'm actually getting a little more comfortable with trees.
