I make handbags full time and also have an interest in watercolors and pen and ink illustration.
I have another blog called sewintoart.blogspot.com that displays my handbags and most of my
current happenings. Thanks for visiting
Here she is with watercolors. I like the colors a lot. I think I need to practice on faces lots more. When it comes to faces I tend to avoid it or overdo it because I am not really sure of where and how to apply the shading. The only way I am going to get better is to do more of it. So I look forward to doing lots more of these. I didn't make the mail on time today so these will have to wait till tomorrow and will also post the other portrait before it goes out.
Almost missed my watercolor - pen and ink atc swap which must go out today. I used my daughter's fantasy book for inspiration and drew these characters. Butterflies and fairies are one of my favorites!! So I did a pencil sketch using the photos in the book as resource and added my own style to each one. I will be painting these with watercolors today and will post the completed pieces here when I am done.
