One Dozen

Posted on February 12, 2016 | 40 Comments

I am always so inspired by YOU!  Each one of you inspire me in a DOZEN or more ways every day so THANK YOU!

Jodi at Life In Between and Laura at Create Art Everyday inspired me to pull out the art supplies and play yesterday!  Sometimes it is FUN to just get the hands moving!

I created this piece with Neocolor II Water soluble crayons and Inktense Blocks:

This free experimentation led me to create one dozen roses:

I started this piece with a dip pen in black ink.  I colored the flowers with Neocolor II crayons and then added water:

I finished my “bouquet” by adding two colors of blue and softening it with water.

It was so FUN to play!  Thank you Jodi and Laura for inspiring me with your creativity!

Happy Coloring!  🙂

    These are so beautiful, Jill! I’m so glad to have helped inspire this! Love your abstract shapes and the colors you chose! They work really well together. You inspire me to play with color, so I’m thrilled to be able to inspire you too. And thanks for the mention too! Have a wonderful Valentine’s weekend!

    What a perfect way to receive 1 dozen roses. Very exciting and vibrant art today Jill. And, I agree Laura and Jodi both inspire me to just have fun, too. I just purchased neocolors, I’ll be playing this weekend.

    These are fun. You will like Week 5 in Expressing at Sketchbook Skool. Your work is very similar.

    Since we never buy cut flowers (and don’t grow many ourselves), I always appreciate the flowers my artist friends create! ❤

    I agree and you all inspire me as well. The roses are fantastic and I love all your colors in the other one. My play papers often go to collage fodder.
