| Watercolor sketch of lotus blossom by Marla Niederer as inspired by Jean Oliver session |
Quite some time ago a friend introduced me to the free online sketchbook workshop called Sketchbook Revival. It has been put on annually for the past few years and I always find it inspiring. During the workshop there are two video sessions posted daily offered by a variety of artists for about two weeks. The goal of the workshop is to encourage people to add an art practice into their lives on a more routine basis. I personally find creating art a very relaxing almost meditative process. It gives me something beautiful to think about every day.
I
created this watercolor sketch of a lotus blossom inspired by Jean Oliver’s
session from day one.

I also created this travelers style journal inspired by Ali Mannings session. I created my own book out of the backs of watercolor paper pads covered with book cloth that I created with HeatnBond and fabric. I used Arches 90 lb watercolor paper for the signatures and old watercolor paintings for the covers of each signature.
I
am still offering Self Study step by step doll making classes in my
OrsinisAngels Etsy shop. You can find

This
month I am sharing a two part series on how to use watercolors to enhance a
graphite drawing in my OrsinisAngels YouTube channel. I used a vintage Victorian photograph in the
public domain as inspiration for the angels that I drew and painted. You can see part one by clicking on the
picture below.
