WaterCircles



It was medium-moleskine time.  I haven’t worked in this puppy since the end of February.  It’s a most convenient size…..at 8 x 12 it’s not too big to carry around and it’s a good size for a decent sized drawing.



Played with my watercolors….trying to apply different colors to the background.  As you can see, I tried to work with patterns…then gave up.



I like the vibrancy of watercolor….which expends very little energy.



After doing the alternating black/white borders to the circles, I wasn’t too impressed.



But the almighty-marker got me out of my visual pickle.



I really need to remember that watercolors can get muddy fast!



What I took away from this whimsical piece is the fun it is to bring out the shapes of the watercolor by outling the shapes with my finest nib micron.  Possibly I can carry this into something else????   Who knows Smile
