Emerging - Broken but Still Beautiful - June

A much bigger beauty for June, I felt like a larger scale and a bit of blue. I think it suits her - loud and proud.


Using a swordliner brush in the background for the sinuous lines that I feel echo both shell and the idea of water, it felt good to stretch a bit. I used a combination of watercolour, watersoluble pencils, gouache and acrylic ink to get the darkest darks. Back to pencil next month I think.

  1. Lisa what a great post showing the lovely progression of your beach find. Your color of blue is simply divine. So lovely. Hard to believe it is the end of this beautiful month. I want to capture summer and slow it down - how about you?? Hugs!

  2. The curving lines really add to the painting and it was fun seeing the progression of this one :).

  3. Thank you Debbie. This summer really is flying isn't it. Some days it is hard to believe summer is here as we are still getting some chilly grey ones then the next it is very hot. Wishing you a sunny week.


    Thank you Rhonda, this one titled itself when I went back and looked at the photos I took as I drew. I often do this now just to look at work with fresher eyes - sometimes it is easier to spot the changes it needs on a screen, although I am not sure why, I think it helps to get some distance. Best wishes.
