A Sketch a Day


17. Something used for measuring.
Took me a while, did it without a ruler! LOL





18. Lipstick/lip gloss.
Something I never use and should throw away.




Day 19. A Cupcake.



 
Day 20. Your Wallet
 My always empty wallet.



Day 21. The Spot You Regularly Sit to Read.
My little corner of the house where I find peace and quiet. Love to read before falling asleep. If a book manages to keep me awake, it's got to be good! Any  suggestions for summer reading welcome.

22. Something That Hangs From a Wall in Your Home
This is my utensils' rack, it hangs above my cooking range.


Thank you for your support! Wish me luck, I am off to find an interesting detail of a building...
  
Have a wonderful weekend!

    Love the sketches for EDM. My favorites are the bed and the lipstick. You did such a good job on the shine on the case. I'm looking for interesting detail on a building too. lol

    Hi Celia, Sorry to be so absent from your blog these days!
    I LOVE the lipstick - you are developing some fabulous styles in your May challenge. REALLY love the beaters that you did with your nib pen - wonderful style! So fresh. So many great sketches and paintings since my last visit! Love the picture of your girls making their big decisions!
    My husband is in Italy at the moment!

    Bonjour chère Celia,

    Quelle rigueur avec un dessin par jour ! Il ne doit pas être évident de tenir le rythme, donc Bravo !
    Les sujets sont variés et je trouve que c'est un excellent exercice d'observation et une belle manière que de délier le poignet. Après tout le pianiste ne fait-il pas ses gammes tous les jours ?!...
    Bien que tu dis ne jamais vouloir en mettre, le tube de rouge à lèvre est génial tout comme ce gâteau qui me fait fondre de désir... et ton petit endroit préféré... enfin je les aime tous !
    Tu as l'air d'avoir deux jolies grandes filles !

    Gros bisous ♡

Pansies

 Pansies with Lemon  watercolor on cold pressed Daler Rowney paper  10" x 10" / 25 x 25 cm.  Available I wished to paint the happy faces of the pansies I planted earlier in the fall. They are hardy plants, lasting through the winter on my balcony. Soon I will have to pull them out and replace them with petunias or begonias, but not for another month. I love the different shades of purple and had fun mixing my own. I hope everyone is having a nice week!

Happy 2015!!

 Clementine watercolor on paper  20x14 cm.   I am very excited to start off the new year because of the opportunity to focus on what lies ahead. My  goals for the coming months include many positive wishes!  I have written out a physical list for the first time in my sketchbook  to be able to draw a balance at the end. My first painting of the year is a clementine. The contrasting colors and the long shapes of the leaves  are always fun to paint; the fruit's taste is definitively delicious and brightens the dreary winter. I wish all of you a joyful, creative year! Happy 2015!

African Violets

 African violets sketchbook page I painted this sketch slowly, over a few day's time.  I use my sketchbook to experiment towards improving my skills although I seem to always find myself in a hurry to finish the sketches. It took my African Violets over two years to bloom, I felt compelled to capture this achievement! The flu is making the rounds around my household once more, I hope everyone else is well!
