What a difference a day makes! Woke up this morning chomping at the bit to get to my drawing and paint tools. I had a couple of ideas I want to try out. I wanted to take a simple shape like a leaf, make it more abstract and then color it brightly and not necessarily in realistic colors. Love how it came out. At first I was going to make abstract shapes in the leaves...like zentangles, maybe...but then I just liked the idea of drawing veins on one side, but not the other.
The other idea I had was from an art teacher. I followed a pin to this blog and saw a beautiful way to create simple abstract watercolor landscapes. Here is an example of her work:
I quickly put together a little index card landscape using the same technique. I didn't do all the textures and my landscape is very simplified but I created something with the same feeling. I'm looking forward to spending more time to really create something good with this technique:
