Day 10 - AEDM & Nablopomo - sketch & art supplies

another busy day has passed and i'm now feeling SO tired!  i'm surprised myself that i've still managed to meet the challenge each day...can't say i'll make it all the way but i will certainly try.

another late afternoon sketch was the order of the day...this time, a rose

pencil free sketch using pigma micron pen in small moleskine watercolour sketchbook

and, of course, i played a little more with my new derwent inktense pencils. still some layers to go before i'll call it finished but this is what i managed today

we were over at garden city (a large shopping centre) for the day and i couldn't resist popping into riots art and craft store. yep...i bought even more treats for the studio. heck, i'm sure the kids won't mind living on bread and water for the next week or so.

a wood burning tool and some watercolour tube paints
the wood burning tool is for making stamps

a 12 pack of A7 (approx. 3" x 4") mini sketchbooks featuring a variety of different papers

and a new pack of mungyo gallery watercolour crayons (love 'em!) and more water-brushes

until tomorrow

~ love, light and peace ~

    I'd love to know how easy the wood burning tool is, to use. Perhaps you could do a posting on it.

  6. Good morning, Serena!

    I just admire your style of drawing / painting / rendering!!! :-) The rose looks so lovely!

    Oh, and I am drooling with your new art supplies. It takes me back to the days when I was in University finishing my industrial design course and I do my weekly art supplies shopping!!! I think I want to get those watercolour crayons. I have never tried using those!!

  11. Hi Serena :) I am enjoying all your beautiful sketches. The pattern and color in the ones with more than one bloom are just so beautiful to me. Lovely to come back and see what new things you've created.

  12. Hey, you're a third of the way through... You can make it! Maybe - if you're getting stuck for inspiration for smaller projects - start a larger project and work on it a bit each day? I did read the rules (because I had considered joining in myself with various crafts) and I know that's acceptable. Just a thought.

    And, how can you resist buying more supplies? ;)

  20. What a beautiful rose. I love drawing and painting roses. My husband is always buying me roses and I use them for practice. He loves it when I draw/paint the flowers he gets me.

    I wish I could have gone shopping with you. There are not very many places to buy art supplies here. So of course, it's more expensive. I think I'll order online next time.
