I loved the hot pink Bougainvillea growing in Oaxaca! And I found a bright pink wall too…
Hot Pink! What comes to your mind when you think of this color? I’d love to hear from you!
As far as hot pink hippos… one of our drawing assignments was to draw a contour of a stuffed animal in Oaxaca. I kind of fell in love with the hot pink hippo:
Carla Sonheim taught us how to take our drawings a step further and create a colorful animal – a fun way to doodle! Here is my hippo:
Hip Hip Hoorah, it’s Saturday! 🙂
Enjoy your day!

That color immediately makes me think of azaleas.
Maybe a rhino with the horns? Cute in any case…a patchwork friend! (K)

Hot pink makes me think of flamingos and dancing, though I never go dancing. Lol And that hot pink hippo is sooo charming, but your resulting hippo is pure awesomeness!! Love the patches of color and texture!! 😃💕🎨

Thanks Sharon! 😃 I used Tombow markers around some of the edges and then softened the middle with water. I really like how this looked – it gave it dimension before I added my doodles. 😄🎨🌈

Wow, this is really wonderful Jill! You should def. frame this! I think of soft deep rich pastels right now because I got a set (my first) and that color was there and just leaped out of the box at me. So freaking gorgeous, those colors! I hope you frame this!

Thanks Laura! He is pretty cute! 😍 I used Tombow markers with water to color some of the areas and Copic markers for other areas.

At first I thought you may have had one too many margaritas! 🙂 Pink Hippos?
I love your Hippo!! The colors are complimentary, the patterns within it are interesting and contrast nicely with each other, and black and polka dot border is a brilliant finishing touch!
I was in Mexico when the Bougainvillea was in bloom once. It’s amazing! Most people thing the pink leaves are the blossoms…Confession. I did too until that trip. I had a Bougainvillea vine growing up over my patio years ago. Sadly, He-Man pulled it out Bougainvillea because it cut him up too much when he was trimming and tidying up the yard.
He didn’t appreciate the thorns. 😦

Thanks Deborah! 💖💕 Glad you like my hippo – the black border with white dots was Carla Sonheim’s idea. 😃 And I agree that the Bougainvillea is soooo pretty but the thorns can be very painful I hear. 😳
