New art! “Spring’s Bounty” A watercolor this time. This is big for me, especially when it comes to working with watercolors. I had a vague idea of what I wanted to create. I didn’t draw anything, I just started to paint. My first of a few mistakes was that I chose the wrong background color. With perseverance and an arsenal of supplies I ended up with this painting as the result. There is everything on there from gouache to Daniel Smith, QoR, Derwent watercolor pencils, watercolor crayons, salt, you name it. At one point I even had my oil pastels out. There came the classic moment, am I done or not? Maybe? I had a blast, especially splattering and playing with a hake brush. Hope it pleases your eye.

Here we will come across the most common of sights, sheep. They are everywhere, its their grass, their hills and even their road. These two were only slightly curious of our approach so apparently people are common here too.

#NatureDoodlewash Sand Dollar

No we are not going to the Caribbean today. Instead we are going to a beach on the west coast of British Columbia. There is lots to see here too. Natures beauty abounds. Perchance we will come across a sand dollar. A sand dollar is a burrowing form of a flat sea urchin. Did you know if you find one they are good luck? Today we have come across one that has washed up along the shore and has turned white. A live sand dollar will be darker, brownish black or purple. So we can pick this one up and take it home. A lovely memory from our walk today.

A Nice Day For A Walk

I did add some Canada Geese flying in formation but I have not taken another photo of the painting. It was a nice day for a walk along the nature trail in Salmon Arm Bay. The biggest water colour I have tackled to date. At the moment I am not sure if this one is finished or not. I don’t want to over work it. Usually I am happy or pleased with the end product. Perhaps its because this is a water colour that has me doubting. It has been fun playing and spending time at my easel.

Even More Fun!

Lucky me or is that lucky you? The Pond Iris are in full bloom in my pond at the moment. How appropriate! “Pond Iris” original art by Susan Feniak Staedtler Watercolour Pencils on Opus Essentials Sketchbook 8.5”x 11” paper. Enjoy!
Having More Fun!

The first is a busy Front Street scene from Caye Caulker Belize. All the roads on Caye Caulker are of beautiful compact white sand. If a person stops and looks at where they are walking they will see sea shells and bits of coral mixed in with the sand. I may have gotten carried away with the shade from the palm trees making that white sand disappear. It is a quick sketch with mixed results, right? The other sketch is strictly from my imagination. A bit idyllic I would say. “A Busy Front Street” is Staedtler Watercolour Pencils on Canson Mixed Media 7”x10” paper. “Small Island” is Staedtler Watercolour Pencils on Opus Essentials Sketchbook 8 1/2” x 11” paper. Both original art by Susan Feniak
p.s. The only pavement we saw while on Caye Caulker was the airport runway. No need for roads when the biggest mode of transportation are two wheeled bikes, golf carts or your very own two feet. Bliss.
