Textures In Nature

Posted on May 30, 2017 | 16 Comments

I’m a little behind… well, actually A LOT behind with Carla Sonheim’s 365 daily art class but rather than stress about it, I just do an assignment when I can.

Yesterday, I did this one when I was at the lake with ink pen.  Our assignment was to draw textures around us so I chose nature.

I added a little watercolor to spice things up a bit:

Did you notice the dead mosquito?  There seemed to be PLENTY of them this weekend…

Cheers! 🙂

    I’m really impressed with your dead mosquito. How many people draw those lol. I love tree knots. You found tonnes of texture.
