Bollie cat on top of the dog house.
So little time and so much to paint. This week I did more “random scribble drawings”. That means: I grab a piece of paper, take a pencil, charcoal, koki or paintbrush and let my hand take the drawing tool for a “walk”. I scribble without looking at the page, sometimes with my left hand! Then I turn the page this way and that, until I see something pop out. A pair of eyes, a nose, legs or whatever. So the funny little creatures evolve and I develop the scribbles into paintings of some or other character.
Just a reminder that some of my creatures still need to be named. If you are feeling creative and have any clever or quirky ideas, please leave a comment!
The media used: arcrylic paint, koki, polychromo pastels and charcoal – oh, and tealeaves for the texture.
Betty and George
I called this one “Kattekwaad” which meand “mischief”.
Work in progress
Betty and George – beginnings in old fashioned nib and ink.
I LOVE Betty & George!! Don’t know HOW you do such amazing pictures just random!! Definitely gifted at this! I always enjoyed using charcoal as well. Might be silly question, but what is ‘polychromo pastels’?
