This drawing of tiny flowers was done with pencils.

Daylily in Watercolor
I have “played” around with watercolors in other art projects, but here is my first flower done in watercolor. Now, I guess I should do a study of how to use watercolors.
It was done on a 5″ x 7″ paper using Derwent Watercolor pencils and a water brush.
Fluid Painting to Mandala
This painting was done on a 5″x5″ canvas. It started out as a pour painting, but the blue paint took over the painting. After it dried, for about a week, put a mandala on top of the fluid painting using metallic acrylic paint.

Purple Columbine Flower
I believe that the Columbine flower species in very interesting. It appears to be two flowers in one with deep dark spots flowing outward from the center.
The drawing was done with Prismacolor pencils.
Marigold on Black
I was going to make the flower more detailed, but after I drew in the leaves I thought in looked good.
Circles Make Flower
There are 25 circles which makes this flower drawing. It was colored in a pattern. Can you tell what the pattern was?
The drawing was done on a Studio Series Artist tile with Faber Castell Pitt Pen and Prismacolor pencils.
The pattern was two part: Areas that do not overlap, were not colored; and the lighter shades of colors were connected.
Water Lily in Pastels
My current adventure in using pastels.
Saddle with at Twist
Today’s design inspiration comes from a saddle. Yes, the thing you sit on when you ride a horse. No, I did not ride a horse.
Saddle with a Twist
I started with creating the drawing below in Corel Draw. The saddle looked like the design was punched into it, so I tried to add depth. The line drawing is available for download on the Coloring page. I have increased the available drawing size from 3.5″ to 7″ because of the detail.
Indian Flower Design
The inspiration for today drawing comes from an Indian pottery dish that I saw at a museum. It was done on a white Studio Series Artist Tile with Faber Castell Pitt pens and watercolor.
Indian Flower One
I ran out of time trying to recreate the design on the computer, but I did enjoy coloring what I created.
Art of Concentration: Day 9
Today’s Art of Concentration drawing is more typical of the drawing I used to do in meetings and classes. It wasn’t anything too complicated, just some lines and occasionally other objects.
Remember you can do these types of drawing on any size of paper from “Post-It” note size to letter size, or larger. If you create them using ruled paper, you already have some lines premade.
The line drawing:
The Art of Concentration rules are:
- Draw lines on a page. Circles, squares, squiggly lines, it does not matter.
- Color every other section. Start anywhere. Use any color.
- If you desire, use multiple colors. Sections of the same color can not touch.
The first object created was the flower and than squiggly lines added. Notice the top left of the circle in the middle of the page. There are more than two section that are touching. The rule “Section of the same color can not touch” will not work here. To solve that dilemma, I used multiple colors.
The flower petals were done in a deep red and white. The center and background was done in black and white. It doesn’t even look like a circle. That is why I named today’s hand drawing “Squid”. Looking at if after is was done, it looked more like a squid then a flower.
Squid
Squid was done on a black Studio Series Artist tile using Sakura gel pens.
The line drawing was done in Corel Draw and exported as a bitmap to color using Microsoft Paint. I decided to use three colors and black on the second drawing with white line.
