I’m on a mission to add a few ink and watercolour drawings/paintings to my Etsy shop ― hence the reworking of old favourites such as this bird silhouette (which is now for sale). The original black bird appeared a couple of years ago (click here to see the post). He was my second Shoot it, Sketch it and he was also the subject of my first haiku.
And that brings me to my question. Which of the following would you like to see me draw again? Feel free to vote for more than one : )
I’ve just finished taking a few photos for the shop ― Arty, the mannequin, was a big help. ‘Little sparrow’ is now for sale on Etsy.
Back to the drawing board : )
I’ve been meaning to get around to this one for ages. The photograph originally featured in my In the Style of… Fougasse and became an ink sketch coloured in Photoshop. I’ve redrawn it and replaced the digital colour with watercolour. After a little bit of trial and error experimentation, I decided on the version you see here. I did try it with more colour but it just looked wrong. Overworked and wrong. I may paint it again and colour only the leaves… ‘Cathedral Junction’ is now my first watercolour for sale on Etsy.

A little piece of New Zealand is now on its way to the other side of the world : )
Today’s Shoot it, Sketch it is from a sketchbook I started three years ago. It was meant to be a gift for someone but I misjudged how long it would take to fill the 36-page Moleskine. I got about halfway through the journal before realising that I wasn’t going to finish it in time. And that was that. Momentum lost. Project abandoned.
Maybe it’s time I picked it up again…
