But since one of my goals for the coming year is to produce more art outside of the sketchbook(s) I have tried some on loose sheets of watercolour paper. I also added some penwork to them in black and white paintmarkers.
Here are my first two tries:
They measure 24x30 cm (approximately 10x12 inches). I like how the penwork looks like stitchwork. I would love to see this done in felt for instance as a sort of patchwork textile artwork. I wonder if I can muster up the patience to do that myself... ;-)
Still, I would like to get a bit more brave with my penwork too and do more doodling on top of the shapes. I think it would make the whole work more interesting, like some of my doodle drawings.
As it is though it's both very calming to do and very calming to look at. So that might actually be a good thing too and a reason to keep some of these 'clean and simple'.
I am hoping to develop my watercolour mosaics further in the coming year and can't wait to see what comes out of that!
Wishing you all a wonderful and artsy day.
