A to Z Challenge: Day 6 - F

FUN in art by Linzé

As I am writing this post I am watching a video clip (part of an art course I have been doing) about discipline in practicing creative activities.  Although I have art as a goal for this year, I make a point of it to do fun things too. Art projects can sometimes take many hours and often it can be tough to get those finished. I prefer dry mediums like colour pencils, which is one of those that do take hours and often days to finish a drawing.

Now the fun things can be just as satisfying. I dug out my Caran D'Ache NeoColor II crayons a while ago and just played without thinking about anything except being colourful.
NeoColor II crayons can be activated with water and that is what I played with these four art cards from Hahnemühle that I bought last year.

Edinburgh Station by Linzé

I painted the train station of one of the most memorable places I have been to - Edinburgh in Scotland. It is a gouache painting on gouache paper.

A to Z Challenge: Day 2 - B

BFF and my creative partner by Linzé

Today I want to share a portrait I recently painted of my best friend, Vanessa Wright. I have drawn portraits before, but never painted one.

I am busy experimenting with gouache paint on gouache paper. So why not paint my best friend?

Fortunately for me, she liked it!
