Sunday Sketches

This weeks Sunday Sketch is another whimsical piece......maybe the older more serene sister of last weeks.

I used too much water as the paper in my sketchbook crinkled up a bit, so I am thinking of applying gesso to the page first and then using acrylics to paint my next piece, whatever that might be.
Please check out the other sketches done, everyone is just so talented.

Have a great Sunday xx

Love the soft colors, and don't worry too much about the crinkled paper, I think it can be a nice effect sometimes~ ;3

I love the contrast between the image of the sketch before and after the watercolor was added. Just the way it "pops." Great job. :-)

So beautiful. I just took a class that the teacher would iron her sketchbook at the lowest setting to get the crinkles out.

Love the soft colors, and don't worry on the crinkles, sometimes they can add depth to the piece.

I wish we could just iron out wrinkles in paper. That happened to me but I felt the crinkles gave the painting character. Yours came out beautifully.
