CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS...

This year all Christmas decorations were done by me!
The decorations are done in felt and filled with cotton wool... First time ever!!!
They're full of imperfections but they look perfect to me and my son!!!
They've made the Christmas Tree really special this year!

Here they are:

URBAN SKETCHING!!!

   It's been a long time since I last did one sketching on location!!!
   But today is so windy, cold and very sunny... Crazy weather!!!!
   Two weeks ago I put some Tibetan prayer flags on my clothes line and I was waiting for the perfect  moment to sketch them or plein air paint them with oils.

   It's hard to paint background vegetation  like this. I always avoid it but couldn't do it here!!!
   Never mind the overgrown hedge due to the overgrown bramble. The bramble is overgrown because the birds love the berries so much... proof of it? Purple poo everywhere (I know kids humour, oh well).



The materials used were: Faber-Castell 9000 2B
                                         Winsor and Newton Watercolour
                                         Faber-Castell Pitt Artist pen Black 199*** XS
                                         Canson Art Book One

COMPLETED ALL 30 DRAWINGS A DAY!!!!!

Here they are... the gorgeous animal eyes!

I had a great time painting these miniatures.
