Watercolor Wings

Wings & Words

More watercolor sketching (though I did use some pencil under this one).  The background is a pale green wash that doesn't show up in photos.

 "All art is always created from a base of someone else’s work. There is no 'new.' No one invents art. You always have a base of someone you’re—I can’t think of any other word to use—you’re *copying* them even if you don’t remember it. It might be Picasso, it might be Michelangelo’s finger, it might be Da Vinci’s earlobe…but you’ll remember it. That’s the creative process: you look at things and you’re impressed by it, and your job then is to show it to others and say, 'I like this, look at this.' Or, 'I hate this, look at this.' That’s what the artistic
life is all about."

Little Red Sketchbook

Yesterday I started decorating my little red moleskine with a white gel pen. Today I filled in the "scales" with poster marker & decided to watercolor over. 

Also got in some observation sketching, with watercolor instead of pencil.

Fold & Paint

Slacked off in drawing this week past, but still keeping up with the creative endeavors.
