(1/2) I bought a teeny tiny watercolor palette & filled it with 6 colors (CMYK + one extra color) from which I can create millions of colors! Here’s my palette in hand. You can read more on my latest blog post
Allererster Trippelschritt in Sachen #naturejournaling . Nächste Woche muss ein ordentlicher Fineliner her. Und dank der tollen neuen Aquarellfarben, die es zum Geburtstag gab, wird auch Farbe ins Spiel kommen.
A couple of years ago I created an art series in which I painted 1 color/day of something from nature I saw in/from my yard including trees, wildflowers, cacti, animals, birds, insects, reptiles, skies & clouds. April is especially colorful in Tucson!
Signs of Spring in our Tucson, AZ yard: over 20 species of wildflowers have bloomed in the last month + trees like Desert Willows have been leafing out with new green leaves. Here’s my Perpetual Journal page with my art of willow leaves + a Sowthistle in bloom.
Sequoias are the largest trees in the world & have bark that’s 2’ thick or more. Wow! Here’s my art of a Sequoia trunk & a White-headed Woodpecker, Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Parks, CA, USA.
I saw yet another cool caterpillar to paint for my Perpetual Journal: a White-lined Sphinx moth larva! Check out those awesome colors & patterns! (The Fall foliage art is my PJ entry for Oct. 15-21 for last year.)
Longhorn Bees have been gathering in groups in our Tucson, AZ, USA yard to sleep on the dried-out flower stems of our Brittlebush. We’ve seen up to 40 of these each night recently so I drew a few of them for my Perpetual Journal this week.
