Watercolour mini book.

Recently I watched Tammy from Daisy Yellow on Periscope. I am really enjoying watching her live feeds on my IPAD. Just snippets of fun art that make me want to get my art journal out and play. The last one I watched Tammy do she made these great little watercolour tiny art books. So thought I would have a go at these too.

So then because I could and it was very relaxing I made another one in pinks and purples. Just have
to sew it up. These are made by tearing up a page of watercolour paper. Then I just painted randomly on the paper using my Grumbacher watercolour paints. It was fabulous to get the watercolours out again. They are so pretty and love the randomness of watercolour.

Have a great dayVicki-Ann :)

Drawing...

 I just realised something this morning. I have been drawing these guys for months and have been popping them on instagram but I have never popped them on my blog. So here is a blog post about all my little Kawaii characters and some other guys.  

I drew this big bear yesterday and then thought he so needed lots of little friends. I find I just doodle these guys now and that I love to figure out how they all just link together. They peek out and have all sorts of different expressions. 

This bookmark was from a tutorial from Pic candle on Youtube where I first discovered Kawaii characters. Of course I had to add a couple of different ones. 

This was my first effort at drawing Kawaii and it's when I discovered they were such awesome fun to draw. 

These were inspired by Tracy Moore. I love being in The Artstronauts Club there is always something different to see. Teesha gave us all these collage sheets of Tracy's drawings and I just love to draw some of his little characters with the one eye. I love adding the little details and it's probably why my bear at the top has little spots and marks. 
There is a link to instagram up the top of the page on the right if you would like to follow me on there. I am @sandybeachart hope to see you there. 

Have a great day
Sandy :)

Sketching...

I have been loving sketching all sorts of things lately.. It started with the Index cards I really did not know I could draw.. I could draw flowers well just daisies really.. With the challenge of prompts it made me have a go and who knew I could have so much fun sketching all sorts of things.. 

This is my latest sketch. I am doing the Daily Paper Prompts over at Daisy Yellow this is for # 4 Flowers. I sketched her in my sketch book just sketching away and doodling but then well she so needed some colour. So I added some Grumbacher watercolour then she had to have a quote too. 

Going to link this up over at Balzer designs as they have all been sketching and adding watercolours too.. 

Have a great day
Sandy :)
