What's in My Sketchbook?

Firstly, I’d like to thank everyone’s well wishes for my recovery.  Your lovely words had warmed my heart greatly.

Secondly, I appreciate all your encouragement, advice and tips on acrylic blending.  They were all helpful.  It also led me to a new insight of my approach to acrylic and existing watercolour work.  (More about it later …)

For this week, another seascape for you …

(You can see that the sea is still working its charm on me!)

What do we have this time?

A sea sponge, kelp like underwater plant … Ahh, and it looks like there’s a sea creature joining us as well!  Anyone has any idea what it is?  Love to hear of your thoughts. ;)

Cheers and have a wonderful weekend!

What's in My Sketchbook?

Am I back to the creative land?  Kind of …

Health issue remains an ongoing struggle.  While tackling the body aches & pain on a daily basis, I’ve been slowly going back to drawing and sketching.  And during the break, I’ve been learning and practicing acrylic blending techniques (without success!!!)  ARrrrrGggggHhhhh …

So for now, acrylic is NOT my friend!  I have no clue how to “befriend” it.  But then, I’m not giving it up yet.  I keep thinking if other people could do it, there is no reason why I can’t.  I might not be the most intelligent person but definitely not stupid.

Alright enough of the rant … here is another sketch book page for your review.

I’m still totally engulfed by the sea and its creature!

This time the mighty sea sent in the shells and a sea sponge.

And when I finished the sketch, I realized that I’ve never seen sea sponge painting before.  Did you know of anyone who paints sea sponges and / or put them together with shells?  If yes, I would appreciate if you could drop me a line or pass me a link to check out.  Nothing serious, I’m just being curious.

Also I have joined Jane Davenport’s online course, Supplies Me, to gain more knowledge of drawing & painting girls.  Check out the detail here!

Cheers and have a fantastic weekend!
