AEDM Day Twelve

Today I decided to use a very cool website called All About Birds. There you can look up any bird and get information all about it. I Googled British Columbian bird species and then looked them up on the website. I decided to  draw up a Swallow and a red-breasted Nuthatch. Don't you just love the name Nuthatch? Just the name of the bird made me want to draw it. I used waterproof pen and then Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer watercolor pencils.

The next piece of art has been a long time coming. Lemons were on my list to draw and paint for over a year but I never got around to it. Then I took "Beginnings" in Sketchbook Skool and Tommy Kane was the last teacher we had that taught a class. One of the videos he did as an extra was to teach us how to crosshatch successfully. He did a lemon. The lemon then went to the top of my list to do. I LOVED his lemon and wanted to be able to loosen up my style and to a Tommy Kane Lemon. It took me three months to get around to it but the wait was worth it. I had to wait until I was comfortable enough to just trust that the lines would eventually come together to make my lemon look great. Here it is, I'm kinda happy with it. :o)

It's A Lemon! (Entered into AEDM Day Twelve)

Other than that, all I'm doing here in Canada is freezing my A** off!! We have a polar vortex that has gripped Canada and the whole northern half of the continent is in it's grip. Please send battery powered slippers, extra warm blankets and LOTS of K-Cup coffee packs. (when I make a cuppa I get in the cup and swim around for a while to warm up.) I'm FREEZING HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Later gator. I gotta go find a blanket and turn up the heat again.
Best,
