My bloggie-bud Janet (at JKBees) draws the prettiest girls.
She knows how much I wanted to color them in… so….she emailed me three pixie girls to colorize!!
I printed them out on watercolor paper. I’ve never done this before and wasn’t sure how my printer would apply the ink. But as you can see there were no worries in the printing department.
Since I’m working on such a big piece (Horse Racing drawing at 30’ x 40’), it’s so refreshing to work on a portable project.
Ran into a small problem though…..I water-colored the face, but apparently my ink jet printer isn’t using waterproof ink…..joy!!

Hmmm.... can you even buy waterproof ink for the printer?? I just printed out a feather i sketched onto cardstock and i'am coloring it with colored pencils. So glad i didn't use the water colors that crossed my mind.....
This pixie girl is just lovely. What a wonderful collaboration!! Hugs! deb
I can honestly say my Pixie Girl never looked better! You did an amazing job of adding color. This is a fun collaboration for me, too... getting to see what someone else sees in my drawings. Thank you!!!!!
Marvelous collaboration with Janet! xox
Great work and a fun way of doing things.
Janet's lovely drawing and your amazing color - wonderful collaboration! I think the bleeding ink just added to the depth of the face (and I wouldn't have noticed it, if you didn't point it out). She is beautiful!
Oh, this is great! I didn't think anyone had the sense of color Janet had -- but she might have some competition!
Thanks for the nice comments!!
Janet has a wonderful whimsical style and I'm so glad she let me play with her drawing!
This is for the wonderful connection you have made. Janet, you know how much I love what you do, always fresh and so beautiful. Eden, I am a newbie to your blog but I will return. Together you have made magic, she is beautiful.
Hugs, Mary
