A Break from Clay...








I spent an hour photographing the blooming orchids last week and there's one, a brassia that has inspired me to paint again. I've only worked on a rought watercolour pencil sketch. Love the control of the pencil with the look of watercolour. A favorite medium of mine. I really haven't done alot of drawing or sketching lately, and I felt a bit rusty. It's really like biking or swimming....you don't really lose it. Am getting more comfortable with it and looking forward to reproducing this in oils.

I'm also going to post the other really cool pics of the orchids. I'm really enjoying these new charges of mine, both in care and as muses.
