I like this type of approach to painting, it's great if your stuck for subject matter. Empty the things in your life on your work station, the stuff that's going on right at the moment and take a snap shot. In this painting, most was done in pencil with some monochromatic watercolor effects.
I remember everything in it. A postcard from a family member, my paints and paintbrush. A sample of face powder from Clinique. I would purposely try to add, something old, something new and something of great meaning. Your creation will come to have great personal value.. And it's fun!!

Great mellow tones. When I write, I sometimes take a similar approach...look at what is right in front of me and begin to write. Describe it... or tell its story or both.
Hi Valerie, thanks for your nice comments on my blog!
I really like this drawing you did. It's got such a nice feel to it and I am always impressed when people use watercolors (I find them so difficult!)
I love the photo of your dog too. She is so cute. I've got two little dogs (11 and 10 years old)
This is so nice to look at and work out what's there. Great idea and I think the sepia monotone adds a lot.
i've been on your site and here and i just love your watercolors, i'm so messy with mine, but wow, you have incredible technique and skill.
Excellent work, again.
I'm glad I stopped by this morning.
I just love the brown tones you used in this one. Lovely!
