I had the weekend off from work, but it was a busy weekend without much time for being creative. I did manage to get two cards made for ICAD. The first I made after I saw two bottles of Cholula Hot Sauce sitting on our breakfast table. They are very colorful and the bottles have a nice shape. I drew the bottles in pencil first, then went over the pencil with a Pitt artist's pen. Tonight when I finally had time to relax in my craft room I watercolored it. I still need to figure out that shadow thing! All in all, I'm pretty happy with the result:
After I finished that I decided to watercolor a flower from my imagination. I already had the watercolors out so I just got right to work without sketching it out first. I didn't get the petals the way I wanted them but there are some aspects that I think I was pretty successful with. I wanted to be able to get some depth in the leaves and petals and I think accomplished that on a few of the leaves by using good shading on the undersides. I wasn't really successful on the petals, but it gives me something to work for now.
