Morning and those of you that follow me on FB know my daughter Helen draws and paints to help occupy her mind and help with her anxiety and mental health-I always show her work on FB but have decided to make a page for her art on here too-they are all drawn free hand and using coloured pencils, watercolours or graphite pencils. She gets her inspiration from Pinterest, but when I saw the Sunflower challenge at Double D I decided to show the latest one she finished yesterday.
The sunflowers were drawn freehand in pencil then water coloured, the little Bees were stamped -with I think a Chocolate Baroque stamp to hide a couple of marks she made on the paper and saved it from the bin! She has given a few away but this one is definitely going to be framed and on the wall. Size-11 and a half inches x 8and a half inches.
PLEASE NOTE IF ANY CHALLENGES HAVE DIGIS FOR PRIZES I AM JUST PLAYING FOR FUN AND SUPPORT AS I HAVE NO PRINTER.
