30 DAY SKETCHBOOK CHALLENGE - DAY 1

Good morning Peeps and Happy New Year.
This year I decided to join the 30 DAY SKETCHBOOK CHALLENGE 2020, which is organised and run by MAGENTA SKY PRINTMAKING.

This is a new thing for me as I don't do a lot of actual ' off the cuff ' sketching, but this year I would like to branch out into Art Journaling and Mixed Media and schtuff :-D  I signed up for Watercolour classes at our village centre too and that starts again in a couple of weeks. Totally scary for me because watercolours are sooooo different from the Guache that I used and once you put them down, they're down and that's that !!!  Very scary :-D

Anyways, I am blabbing on so here is my piece for DAY 1 -  The theme is " SPOTS & DOTS ". 

I have used my new Memory Keepers Marker Airbrush to make a rainbow background - so there's one lot of dots. Then I 'drew' one of my IKEsART images onto it using small dots with a fine black marker. 

I used to do a lot of this type of thing at art college when I was obsessed with it for a while. You just keep 'dotting' and make them closer together when you want to go darker - just like newspaper pictures used to be.  I guess it's a bit like doing Pixels but this was long before we even knew what pixels were hahaha This piece is obviously a simple version with not a lot of shading :-)

I'm not really bothered about the white corners as I might go back at some point and do a bit of journaling in there :-D

Thank you for stopping by and I welcome your comments. x0x0x0
