Illustration: Strawberry Cheesecake in her Halloween T-shirt.

This is  a colored pencil drawing done today for a Wet Canvas drawing event.
I like the line that defines the left side of her jacket, as you view her.  The red
in the bow and the red of the strawberries help to contain your eye in the picture.
Look carefully at the lack of lines on her face.  Youth is fresh and it is best
depicted with the minimum of lines.

Koi Gazing Ball Finished

 

 

This is the ball grouted and sealed..... finished.   I added deep blue acrylic

house paint to the grout to color it.  It was a little bit more difficult to clean the

ball with this mix.  Last time I used watercolors.  Here, it is not easy to get

colored grout and the only store I found it in had only 10 Kilo bags.  10 kilos

is a lot when it takes about a cup or so to cover the whole ball!  So I

experimented with the house paint.  Making these is always an adventure.

 

I love the way that these reflect the light and add life to the garden,.  This

one is sitting a rustic table in front of an Mexican woven wall hanging.
