Sunday Sketches – blatant experiments with watercolour

I had nothing tonight for Sunday Sketches, but I did have about an hour to come up with something, despite being exhausted. I found myself playing. I didn’t know what to draw initially (though it is not like I don’t have a pile of unfinished works lying around, but hey, my thought capabilities at the moment are on par with fencing post, so I figured I shouldn’t attempt to ruin anything), so I got out my watercolour pencils and just drew whatever came to mind.

Strangely I started with a human figure, far from my favourite topic, but then went well and truly abstract. Then vague design sketched out, I dugout my watercolour sticks (incomplete palette I scavenged on sale as they aren’t made anymore) and played around with them.

I haven’t completed anything yet, but I have been having fun playing with that lifting technique  I discovered last week.

Photographed in poor light while still wet, this is my progress so far.  Really just mucking around, but you never know a painting might result.

At the very least I can scan it into the computer and get some snazzy textures and patterns off it.

Happy Sunday Sketches all! Don’t forget to go check out all the other lovelies.
