Sketches

I started sketching again from last week.

 

These days Spring is in my mind a lot. I am sketching all my favorite subjects of this lovely season.

Color This Quote-2

The second quote for Color this Quote challenge at Artists in Blogland is so inspiring. This one by R.W.Emerson states: " Write it on your heart that everyday is the best day in the year."

This is my take on the challenge:

The background was done using watercolors and some doodling. The silhouettes' were made out of an interesting technique using oil pastels.

IA Challenge

Last year I did two great online workshops, The Art of Wild Abandonment by Junelle Jacobson and Christy Tomlinson's She Art-1. This favorite piece of mine was done  after these two classes. 

Clotheslines always remind me of my home in India

Sketches

It has been a while since I have posted any of my sketches here. Not much was done in February but as I was flipping through my old sketchbook I found these two favorites of mine. They were just done with a black gel pen. 

 

This little bird was one of the sketches that I did last month.

When life kicks you...

This is a page that I created with just three colors: pink, white and silver. I love this page for its simplicity and also that it was created for a specific reason.
This week's challenge by the Inspiration Avenue team is based on Breast Cancer Awareness. We have to create art using pink and white and this is my take on the challenge:

The inspiring quote says: "When life kicks you, let it kick you forward." [Kay Yow]

This challenge reminded me a few things about health. The need to exercise, to eat healthy and to go for regular check ups. Consistency is the key and that is what I lack. I admire people who regularly take walks or go to the gym.

This month I've decided to stop making winter as an excuse and to start  an exercise routine.
