Oriental watercolour

Today I wanted to give my watercolour skills a go, and this little painting happened when I tried to create an oriental watercolour. I would normally say japanese style, but I’m not really sure. The trees turned out well, and I like them, but I had trouble blending different tones together. Just have to practice more.
I’m trying to use crosshatch strokes when sketching, it is an apple.

Just a little something

Ah It’s late now, today went by so quickly but got a bit done. Car is fixed and running lovely, not by me (it went to the garage). Did some computer stuff and working on some paintings.
Here’s a little something that I’ve been working on. The world was a part of another sketch that I did of night time trees. It formed on its own into this when I got a bit detailed with the different typefaces. It’s still a work in progress so I’m going to do a bit more to it, then probably put it on my Etsy store.
Sorry about the rubbish image, I took it on my phone. I’ll make more of an effort to use my camera.

Last week I bought a load of supplies, and I got myself loads of new pens to sketch with. Amongst all of this I bought my first Sharpie pen, I saw the adverts flash in front of my eyes. I’ll admit I got swept away by the advertising running through my mind, I went ahead and got one. Only one, don’t want to go too crazy.
I did feel a little bit of shame afterwards. I was charmed. It was just a marker pen, why was I so excited? I normally always love to show my sister my new goodies, but I was hesitant about the new marker. I thought she’s going to mock me about this.
Ah my delight when she saw it and sat bolt upright, then exclaimed “A Sharpie! I love them!”. Guilt gone, happiness back.
Now I don’t normally sketch with markers, yesterday I made an exception. I looked down at the lovely pen; “What twin tip! You’re a marker and a fineliner! You are my new love, I will carry you everywhere!”. Do I want more? Yes.
[These are some sketches I did yesterday, and ideas I'm working on.]

I saw a Bullfinch for the first time today, it’s got an amazing orange belly and they look so cute. Little fat balls of colourful bird.
I tried to take some photos but they all came out a bit blurry as it was far away. My camera zoom would only go so far. So I drew my version of a Bullfinch afterwards from the photos.

Christina drew a picture using ink, I’m really impressed with it. I like it.
