INKTOBER DAY 3

INKTOBER DAY 3

Today, a bundle of berries I found on a shrub at the coffee shop.  The colors are so beautiful, it was hard to stick with the Inktober guidelines and use only ink.  Maybe another shot using watercolor is in order?  

And, these days I'm loving drawing acorns so now to hunt down oak trees to find unusual specimens.  The challenge is to find the ones that made it to the ground in one piece before the squirrels get to them!

INKTOBER IS UPON US

INKTOBER  

"Every October, artists all over the world take on the Inktober drawing challenge by doing one ink drawing a day the entire month. I created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve my inking skills and develop positive drawing habits."   - Jake Parker

Day #1

Day #2

What a fun way to go into fall!  Small ink drawings are quick and satisfying.  After a wonderful summer full of gardening and outdoor activities, fall is the perfect time to nestle in and pull out the ink bottle and nibs!   

Today, a walk to find seed pods and leaves . . . and a video I've posted before.  This was one of my mom's favorite songs.  Melancholy, but so beautiful!

LAVENDER PATH

Another English beauty, this is Avebury Manor, Wiltshire. 

Done for Day 3 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge, my theme is Buds and Buildings. 
This one takes in both. The gray stone with the lavender, and the greens in the 
grasses and trees make a beautiful combination anywhere but especially in nature.

INK ON MY HANDS

I couldn't be happier than when I have ink on my hands and my work table's a mess!  Sorting through old projects, some barely begun, some almost done, it was a good night.

The clamorous owl that nightly hoots 

and 

wonders at our quaint spirits.

-William Shakespeare

TREE PRACTICE

After my day in the ditch, I realized I really needed to work on my trees.  For this, I referred to a great book, Rendering in Pen and Ink, by Arthur Guptill.  This is a wonderful book that covers everything from trees to architecture.

So, today is just a practice day . . .

"Going Home" 

5 x 7" watercolor and ink

from our "day in the ditch"

Available on in my Etsy shop, Gillyflower Cottage.
