I painted the bookmark first, and I like it better. The arrangement has a looser feel to it. But I am happy with both of these.
I have also been doing more faces, this first one was done in oil pastels, student quality. And I have to say I do not like them much. I had a hard time with blending, I need to read up on how to do it better.
Below is pen and watercolor, in my sketch book. I can see lots of errors, but I like her.
I also did a quick poppy sketch, not terrific, but I like it.
So keeping busy here the last few days. Hope you are feeling the joy and enjoying some creative time as well.
