Outline

 

when planning to paint

lift ideas from Pinterest,

paint with abandon! 

~

In the absence of a light box, I stuck a slice of a blood orange to my window, showing the outline of all the little segments.

And here a lemon slice, photo taken with the iPad

This was inspired by seeing Claudia Horsey’s watercolour on Pinterest.

I started copying Claudia’s design, using felt tip pens and crayons, thinking I would use the drawing to make a greetings card. I liked the effect so much, I went out and bought some citrus fruits to do a design of my own

Don’t you just love the colours…

The blood oranges left a print on the paper

which gave me an idea…..I had fun playing around ….

adding pen outlines and then shading with colouring pencils ….

which turned out to be a very relaxing way to doodle.
