First experiment

I like the interaction of water and marker. Putting the watercolour pencil on top made for a cool effect!

Self portraits

 

These were short experiments... maybe I will try a larger version later, and take some more time.

Favorite music

This felt like I needed a big canvas, lots of materials and a studio to make lots of mess in to capture all the layers I hear in this song.

This sketch in brush pen will need to do, since I don't have those things to hand!

 It took me quite a while to find a subject for the chaotic sketchbook page. Sometimes the hardest thing for me is wanting to do it "right" and getting stuck there. But then I found a beautiful feather in the street and that became my subject. 

Perhaps I could have used more colour in my sketches. Also I have trouble letting go of realism.

Fifth experiment 

Turns out houses and roofs tickle my drawing fancy, so I decided to also start with a house, that then turned into a little village. 

I went back and added more to the drawing several times, not sure it's quite done yet. Perhaps I could have done more with the shape of the mistake itself, I let the story I came up with carry me away a bit. 

My little village was not all that quiet and sleepy after all, it seems.
