I was playing in my sketchbook & found out the Inktense pencils were watersoluble . There it was on the box, I just thought Ink meant it wasn't. So I thought why not try it on my last post painting. It worked great, & I like it much better. I only used water on the Ginger Jar , rose & scarf & left the pencil marks showing in the background color. I really like the Derwent Inktense pencials. Looks like I will be using them more now. I have had them a good while so I am not sure where I got them but I think Hobby Lobby. I also changed the shape of the rose.
I am working on a Bluebonnet painting but meanwhile I have this small Zentangle painting with a red poppy. I cant get true color in a photo, I guess it is too small. We found this hill of Bluebonnets out on the Willow Loop near Fredericksburg on our Bluebonnet Trails trip. You can almost see where the blue color is going to be up the hill & make a wave of blue, almost there. I wanted to stay for more color to pop but have to come home sometime so I can paint.
This was a so very pretty to see all the angels & crosses surrounded by Bluebonnets . Whole cemetery was full of Bluebonnets. This is a cemetery in Fredericksburg. Top photo was a wild poppy found among the Bluebonnets near Baby's Head cemetery. I found the Butterfly near this flower so it got on the flower to be photographed too. Now to get some of these photos into more paintings. Time to paint.
This is a small sketch of Bluebonnets & a Life Oak tree found near Grandberry and a Zentangle from my Sketchbook. Lots of beautiful Bluebonnets this year. So thankful for the rains we have had this Winter & Spring . It has helped so much but we are still praying for more to come & fill our lakes .
