I’m happy to say that I managed to break away from the bones and feathers to work on some plant sketch.
Remember this photo I posted a while ago about my succulent plants ...
Since the upload of the pix, I’ve been nagging myself to sketch them. But as mentioned on last post, I kept working on the bones and feathers. So for this week, I mustered great effort to direct my creative attention to the Pink Jelly Bean. And to make sure I didn’t fall into habit, I further my effort in presentation (no frames!) and color palette (purple & red).
Though I’m not 100% satisfied with the outcome, I’m quite happy with the fact that I’m trying something different.
The sketch is also for Paint Party Friday (hosted by Eva and Kristin). All are welcomed! Do join in to share and support each other!

Happy PPF. Oh wow your sketchbook page is awesome. So wonderfully painted. Annette x
That's important to try to do different things, and feel good about what you do. Saludos
nice job with the succulents, and with trying something different. Not always an easy thing to do.
This is wonderful! I love how you've composed it with the plant taking up only one corner of the page and the little dot lines all over - beautiful - and great photography as always ;0)
Fantastic - I love that you're "branching out" (pun intended! hee hee) into more color :)
Juicy, indeed!

Beautiful! And I am so jealous of your nice clean watercolor pans. :)
I have to admit I love your bones and feathers, but gee you sure can paint a plant as well! Fantastic! :-)

I would be 100% satisfied! This sketch is awesome! I really like the composition and the way you used the dots. It almost looks like mixed media. The colors are so lovely and the blending of the watercolors are fabulous! I want your sketchbook! :-)
So beautiful! I love how you can take a photo and give it life like that. If you taught a class, I'd sign up! Great job!!
Happy PPF!!

Succulents are very hard to paint. It's looking great to me. Thanks for sharing. Happy PPF
I love the colours and what an unusual plant, I have never seen one like it before. Happy creating!! Thank for your kind comments on my blog.
What a perfect plant to paint with watercolors! The blending of green to red is perfectly rendered and the shadowy blue gray is an excellent backdrop. Beautiful.
I absolutely love it! Although your paints are way too clean :) lol
Happy PPF!
Me likey! Haha! I agree with Brenda, oh so clean. Great work!

I love the colors you use. I was inspired last weekend when i saw your PPF and i followed then, i think - but i'm switching google accounts and so now you are stuck with 2 me's until i can delete one. :)
Wow wonderful work. Love the detailing. Kim
Great sketch und wonderful colours! Valerie
oooo!!! I love it!!! great blending of your colors and the stippling is fantastic! at first i thought maybe the vertical dots were words--happy ppf!
I love jelly beans :). Your drawing is great. Love it and love where you placed it on the page.
Beautiful painting! It's a great try and the result is fantastic. Love the colors and the inspiration. Keep it up!
love it...the color is amazing!
Beautiful light touch with the colors. The image feels so light and gentle. The dots are brilliantly placed, giving depth to the flower and background. I like how you placed the flowers in the corner too. :)
absolutely beautiful. I have that same palette just for quick and easy work and clean up...I need to try harder - my stuff doesn't come close to that. I love it!
cheers, dana
love the dare to leap charm!
Ahh! This is perfect! I love that you made yourself try something new. Amazing work you do. I agree with whoever said that your sketchbook would make a wonderful art book when it's finished. :)
Love peeking into your sketchbook - beautiful work. Happy PPF! (belated)
