some things i've drawn in my 'daily book' lately... i used watercolors and watercolor pencils, a mechanical pencil, an 8B pencil, and an occasional colored pencil...
marge, tom, sue ann, and a woodpecker feather...
when we were on our trip, roxanne figured out that it's easier to draw a tree if you start drawing at the tip of the branches and draw down to form the trunk/bigger branches.
we went on quite the tree drawing jag after this discovery...
my hair elastic thingie was laying on the page and i liked it so much i painted it in. (the real thing looked better, though)
the idea for strands of jewels in the trees came from alena hennessey's book 'cultivating your creative life...'
and this bird is my attempt at copying a bird from the same book... i like alena's drawings...
i want to put dangly jewels everywhere now...
prismacolor pencils and graphite on piece of shell
i know, it's not my daily book; they're just so dang smile making... : )

Lynne I just love looking at the pages from your daily book...and those bejewelled trees, they are wonderful. I like how you want to have danglie things everywhere now!
ReplyDeleteLove your wild pony and always your deer. We have a lot of deer out in our paddocks at the moment...I love them too. Antlers are wonderful (on people too).
Love your little drawing on the piece of shell.

guess what...ordered my wOils today from Dickblick. Cant wait to play with them. XXX
What a beautiful, beautiful post! The drawing on the shell is just enchanting.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting idea about trees, I often find it a bit difficult to get them looking right first time and find I often paint/ draw them two or three times, I will have to try this method :)
ReplyDeleteLove the painting on shell. I must try some work on small fragments of things like this one day, I have a little box of them but haven't gotten around to trying yet.
Love your work so much.
Nice to see your daily book again! Wow, what a great tip on tree drawing. I've always found it difficult to get graceful V's for the limbs and branches. Will be fun to practice this weekend. Thanks again!!! LOVE the deer!
ReplyDeleteWell, Lynne - I am delighted to see your drawings and always love your horses! O of course I will try starting at the end of the branches - love, sus
ReplyDeleteLynne, I love them all, each and every wonderful one. That shell is a tiny sweet lucky charm.

A true 100% genu-INE Lynne post complete with awesome art and bits of life and experiment. I love every single page...every little bit...even your hair thingy painted in.
ReplyDeleteGonna have to try little gems hanging from the tree and also drawing the tree backwards. Never thought of that.
