Porshas winter tan enhanced her smile!

As usual....a little spontaneous sketch turned into quite a bright little colourful painting.  Unsure yet as to whether its Etsy worthy....or just something i will put away for now...and maybe find one day and smile.  I loved the channel detail on her shopping bags (channel was the only thing i had to hand to copy! :))

Am still reading my way through life is a verb.  A very very good read.  The author explains about the use of margins in a book and how scribbling in the ISN'T defacing them....but still i'm struggling to do so....and always love the crispness of a book.  But i have to say....reading it....i do feel the urge to scribble my thoughts in those margins....it makes you want to!

  1. What is a spontaneous sketch? Does that mean it only takes you a few minutes to paint? Where do you come up with all these great ideas? I can't even draw a straight stick man!! LOL

  2. lol....well if you look at mine closely you'll realise that the proportions are always so out of whack. Yes....i just sketch...and then sketch more around it.....and paint...and see how it ends up hehe. Generally it takes me an hour or so.
