I'm finally finding time for some sketching
albeit a very quick sketch.
albeit a very quick sketch.
This one is for this week's Artist's Play Room challenge.
"What's in the pantry?"
Pencil-free sketch in A5 Holcroft sketch diary using
BIC biros, PITT pens and Derwent watercolour pencils.
Now I am off to bake some delicious vegan Coconut Heaven cupcakes.
I made a double batch a couple of weeks ago
'cos they are THAT good!
Needless to say, they didn't last long at all.

Those cupcakes make my mouth water! :) Great sketch of the cereal box!
I love porridge in winter and now I'm eating specail K..I like the way I have my initial on the box! (lol) have a great weekend Serena!
well, now I want some mini wheats, and that's cruel as I can;t have gluten!! Hehehe, your painting is fantastic, so colourful. Love it, those cupcakes look fab, enjoy!
Hugs,
Jenn
Haven't seen that cereal before -- of course, regular shredded wheat we have. I don't buy the frosted ones because it's just filled with extra stuff that is so unnecessary. When I buy cereal, I look for a very short ingredient list and less than 10 grams of sugar. My favorites are Cheerios and Special K (which I top with dried cranberries or frozen blueberries, walnuts or pecans, cinnamon -- very yummy! Oatmeal is another favorite, topped with the same sort of extras. :) Your drawing is fantastic. Mmmm-mmmm those cupcakes sound delightful. Best wishes, Tammy
Your mini wheats watercolor is flawless, and your cupcakes look mouthwatering. Blessings!
Wow, what a terrific sketch Serena! How I wish I knew how to sketch. Do they have classes for your type of sketching. There are so many great artists in blogland that sketch so great and you are one of them. I love oatmeal, cream of wheat, rather than cereal. Great job and those cupcakes look delish. Have a great day, and hope you are doing well. Take care.
Wow, Serena! If these challenges I'm participating in help me become 1/2 the artist you are I'd be thrilled. Nice job with that cereal box...and I love your lettering. Great work!
I love porridge and soya milk too, and I love your vegan cupcakes! I'm going to search the book, it looks great!
Fabulous colours you've created there Serena. I do like cereal but porridge is my favourite breakfast, so warming & satisfying :0) Mo
I used to eat Mini Wheats, too, though I've never seen black current ones. They sound delicious. A little too delicious, I'm afraid. Love the color scheme, though.
those cupcakes look great, wouldn't have thought they were vegan :) great sketch too, I'm not a cereal person either, but thats mostly because I'm not usually up until noon :p
My youngest is hooked on mini wheats, at least they are healthy. Your colours are gorgeous and the writing is perfect. Fabulous as always.

I love Mini Wheats and i love this painted sketch!!! Those cupcakes sound pretty yummy tOO!
Another fabulous sketch. Almost looks like a photograph but an artistic one! The cupcakes-yum..coconut is my all time favorite. Love seeing your creativity.
They look so delicious
Your sketching always amazes me... what a fabulous illustration. And i LOVE those mini wheats too!
Those cupcakes look so yummy too. (coconut - another one of my favorites!) So nice to catch up here.
Looks like you've been busy. Hope you've been well...xox
The vegan cupcakes are always a hit when I make them. :)
LOL re. your initial on the special 'K'. I'm a huge porridge fan too. :)
Sorry for teasing, Jenn. hehe Thanks for the compliments. :)
Thanks, Tammy. :) I'm not sure if we can get the plain shredded wheat any more but the mini-wheats were recommended to Bradley by his dietician. The fruit paste in mini-wheats is made up of sultanas, dates, blackcurrant and pear juice. It doesn't have added sugar and shows 6.4 grams of sugar (from the fruits) per serve. I don't think I've ever tried Special K as I'm not a huge cereal fan, however, with Krissie mentioning it too, I may well give it a go. LOVE English-style porridge!
Thank you, Arnoldo. :)
Thanks, Gloria. Yes, I'm sure there are online classes that would help. Alisa Burke has some great beginner classes. Her Sketchbook Delight classes are wonderful to get you started.
Awwwww....thanks, Ileana. You are already a talented artist so don't sell yourself short. xx
Thanks, Morag. The same author has a recipe book solely for Vegan Cupcakes. I have it too and it's called - Vegan Cupcakes take over the World by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero. Enjoy!
Thanks, Mo. Yep, porridge is definitely high on my list when it comes to favourite breakfasts. :)
Thanks, Aranthe. The mini-wheats are a fairly healthy option as long as no extra sugar was added.
Thanks, Jennifer. I can't imagine sleeping in until noon. I'm up with the birds. lol
Yes, they are, Von. Thanks for the compliments. xx
Thanks, Laurie, and yes, the cupcakes were delicious! Unfortunately, even a double batch doesn't last long in this house. ;)
Thanks, Cheryl. I'm a huge coconut fan too. :)
They are, Shashi! xx
Thanks so much, Pauline! Yes, I've been very busy and now my eyes are playing up so not sure how much time I'll be able to spend online until I see the Optometrist. Wish me luck. xx
Great drawing and beautiful fresh color. I love cocnut, but have only had one or two things that are gluten free and they tasted really good but different texture. Do you use rice flour? That would be nice and light!
Thanks, Gloria. :) Vegans do not consume, or use, any animals products or their by-products such as dairy and eggs. So wheat products are fine and, for these cup-cakes, I just used regular flour. :)
