Some Sketches

I spent some time today
working on a new sketch in my art journal. 
This fairy is the result. 
I wish the details were a little darker.
It's difficult to see her, I think.
I would love to paint her in either watercolor
or acrylic.
Maybe I'll start that tomorrow.

I also created a background with some 
swirly doodles.

I might add some more designs to it and 
use it for a collage.
I could save it for later to use in a 
painting.

Oh, she is beautiful! Her smile is sweet and she will be absolutely gorgeous when she is painted.

And that's a fantastic background! Whoa, so much vibrancy and energy. Love those white swirls, especially!

Hi Bella, thank you for your comments. I have started to paint her in watercolor, and very pleased with the results so far. I'll post an in progress scan later, I hope.

You do such beautiful fairy drawings and paintings. And I really like that swirly background.

Hi, Janet! I hope the painting is going well. Can't wait to see her in color! Have a wonderful weekend. :)

Hi Bella,
Thank you for that little poke. I did start the garden version in watercolor in my next post. Sorry it took so long...life, you know, keeps sending up boulders :)
