Dear ones,
My friend Dawn, from Everyday Memories With Project Life has invited us to start a little art challenge, anything artsy and doing it everyday for the whole month. Inspired, I decided to do a-sketch-a-day project. But I started sketching a day late, LOL.
I have always wanted to do 'naive art' for so long and this is a good chance to learn this art. I hope by end of this month, my paintings will look less realistic and becoming more 'child-like' interpretation. Here's what I made this week. Sketches based on postage stamps. Enjoy :).
Love & hugs.
I thought for a moment I was transported back in time and peering at the great works of John James Audubon!! Your naive interpretations are simply amazing. This is an incredible experience and I can't wait to see MORE!! They have somewhat of a zentangle feel to them too.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Lisa. First time I heard the artist's name :). He is certainly an amazing observer!. Oh yes, would love to try zentangle next :)
DeleteWOW WOW WOW!!! These are AWESOME!! I'm so glad you will be doing this challenge with me, love your sketch idea. How neat to have the stamps on the pages with your sketches. I love each one and can't even pick a favorite. You are very talented my friend, so glad you share it with us thru your art.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lisa above, the remind me a little of zentangles too. Can't wait to see more!! I've been busy with my faces and will post soon. Thanks so much for doing this with me!! HUGS!
So happy to do this with you!!!. Yeah, this week's stamps ...next week something else :). You've got me into creative thinking every night which I LOVE :). Thanks so much, Dawn. Hugs.
DeleteWowww.....you r really good at sketching....they look so real....I wish I can draw and paint like this too....you take care of every little details and I can see that clearly... Awesome! Are these for swap?
ReplyDeleteShould use Malaysian stamps too...hehe... I remember we have those beautiful butterflies stamps and fruits.....
Faiz would love the dinosaur stamp....he's so much into dinosaurs now...keep on watching you tube for video on spinosautus vs t-Rex...lol!
Thank you my friend!. I like doing thins alot now :). Sebab selalu jalan2 at the park so would be good to put those inspirations down on my journal or sketches. He still loves Star Treck right?. I must google spinosautus up, is that a real dino? :). hehe. Hugs.

ReplyDeleteMaybe someday I'll try sketch Malaysian stamps :). Thanks so much, Marjie!. Oh, I was reading your posts lately and again was having trouble posting comments!. I LOVE LOVE your latest Fall Fearless & Fly art :). Hugs.
DeleteYour sketches are divine!!! Such gorgeous renderings-the swan is stunning! I love how you used the postage stamps to create your renderings-wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Linda!. I'm humbled. Using postage stamps was a spur of the moment kind of thing ... but it works :). Hugs.
