Winter Mountains - sketch

Quick sketch of imaginary scene. I hope I'll have some time between Christmas and New Year to go skiing.

Wintery Sky

A quick sketch but with a little imagination we can travel to the dream world. Let's walk on this wintery path together. The snow is heavy and up to our knees. It is not easy but step by step we're closer to the snow-covered hut. Happy to know we're almost there. Let's change these cold walls into a warm home. Let's bring that fireplace to life. Can you see the forest in the back? Although we are tired we have to go there fast and gather firewood. A lot of it. Another storm is rolling in.
First snowflakes melt in the smoke from our chimney. Yes, we made it in time :)

Pots with Flag

I'm done with this one. White flowers were quick to paint. I just painted around them. I like painting bricks. Little shadow here and there creates 3 dimensional view. Blue flowers look great on yellow. Every color goes well with yellow. The most stressful was the flag. I'm glad that I decided to make it shiny because you cannot see how the stars are crooked.

Now I have to scan it. It will be painful because this painting is 13x19in and my scanner has 12in in its widest point. I wonder if 4 scans will be enough. Will see…

 

My camera changed colors to more yellowish down there. 

Painting is fun.

I transferred my drawings to the watercolor paper. I used watercolor pencils; they don’t smudge as much as regular pencils. Then I used masking fluid to cover edges of my flowers and I painted the background. Background is always unpredictable. This time it surprised me nicely.

I'm pretty happy with this drawing. I’ll be painting it with watercolors. My son said that the flag is not right but for me it is good enough. Sorry kids, you can’t learn how our flag looks like from my drawings
