IT'S TIME FOR SOMETHING NEW!


Last week I saw this pin on Pinterest and I instantly loved the idea. I want to try some new things and want to improve my art. And think this is a good way to do this!
Starting August 1st, I’ll be taking the challenge and posting my painting per day here on my blog each afternoon. It doesn’t matter if you start now and submit them later or painting them throughout August. It’s just a great way to encourage myself to sketch daily and maybe you need that encouragement too! 
This would be very inspirational! 
There are no special materials given, feel free to use anything you want!
I would be very glad if some of you would decide to join me, I'd love to see other peoples drawings (painting).
Who's ready for a new 30 day Character challenge in August?

Sometimes I like to paint flowers and butterflies.

 Sometimes I like to paint flowers and butterflies. I did a series of these butterflies. Watercolor seems to suit their extreme fragility, and their beauty. They were really fun to paint, I love the colors. Hope you like them.
