Recently I got an email with a lot of cute children and animals photos.
I have no idea whose photographs they are. I used one of a little girl
wearing her mom's big bonnet while eating an apple. When I had to
take my dh to an appointment downtown I took my journal that has
90# paper and did this sketch from the photo. I will probably paint it
in watercolors but use different colors from the original photograph.
This is my entry for Paint Party Friday. (You may need to click on
my sketch to enlarge it. The pencil shows up very light.)
Ooooh, how sweet. Ü
ReplyDeleteLuv your blog header too.

Beautiful drawing Faye. It will really look amazing once you paint it. Oh by the way, thanks for letting me know that it was in Proverbs. I'll have to look it up in my bible on Kindle. :) Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteHi Faye, Your blog header is beautiful. I could look at it all day. Your girl is adoreable. Watercolor would be a perfect way to complete the sketch.
ReplyDeleteI love pencil drawings -- you bring out so much in the expression. Lovely work! And I love your header photo, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely adorable! Love the expression!!!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, I love this! Do you think the lady will be in trouble for taking a bite out of the apple? Her expression says she knows how to enjoy the fruit and stay undiscovered - what say you?
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF!
What a sweet sketch Faye....

Your sketch is wonderful. Can't wait to see how the painting evolves! Your pencil lines show up pretty well, I think. I always have trouble with photos/scans of pencil, too. Have a great week, Faye!

ReplyDeleteIsn't she a cutie, so colour for next week? look forward to it Dxx
ReplyDeletehow cute is that?! It will be an wonderful painting when filled with colors!! PS: I love apples too ;)
ReplyDeleteIts adorable.. the 90 lb paper will buckle with watercolors I have found. HPPF
ReplyDeleteWondering what to use... acrylics? Leave it a sketch? Color it with pencils? The last may be the right tool.
DeleteHi Faye, my Journal I've been working in and sharing on my blog was Canson 98 lb paper..not 90.. and if I used watercolor and not to much it was fine but I ended up using watercolor, ink and acrylics and got lots of buckling depending on how saturated I got the paper.. but I got started and refused to quit. My new book I am starting is 130 lb paper and soooo much better to work in. I got it at Fred Myers in Oregon. All you can do is try it.
DeleteOh and Pencils would work great.
ReplyDeleteFantastic!!! You have captured the expression perfectly. Brings a smile to my face.

Great sketch Faye and I would love to see it after you add all the colors.
ReplyDeleteYour header picture is beautiful and your sketch is sooooooooooo very cute :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog and for the idea about the use of my abstract. The funny thing is that many people like my abstracts more than my more realistic paintings :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your drawing of the little girl with all the apples!
Happy PPF/nice week!
