I have had a lovely time painting out in the garden - I haven't done this before. The ink dries more quickly and behaves differently in the sun, so this is not a masterpiece, more an experiment - I tried using sugar instead of salt and got a much softer result and also a silver highlighter which I mixed with the ink this time.
it was much more enjoyable being out of doors, I could see the colours more clearly and was able to copy the roses in the garden from where I sat.
After lunch in the garden the prospect of cleaning windows doesn't seem half so bad.

It has been all about roses for me today. I am getting through notebooks fast and had some left over pretty tissue from a recently wrapped swap. I had a go at paper mache and covered my little £1 booklet, I think it's quite pretty.

Those are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I find your talents awe inspiring Betty!
ReplyDeleteSome more lovely paintings and what fun to be able to work outdoors, it has been so windy here this week I don't think anything would have stayed anchored down long enough to do anything!
ReplyDeleteLunch in the garden? Sounds fantastic!
