This little 5x7 drawing is done on Stonehenge printmaking paper using Prismacolor markers and Inktense pencils. This is my aunt's ceramic (porcelain) watering can. It was sitting on her dining room table this weekend, and I did a quick drawing with my Prismacolor marker right before I left to start home. Then today I added the background ivy and the foreground from my imagination. I colored it with Inktense pencils and a few touches of Yarka Professional watercolor in the yellow background behind the watering can and on the terra cotta pot.
I love the way it looks. I'm thinking I really need to have some of these small paintings printed on notecards. I sell the original, but then I'm sick, because I don't have it anymore. A print would solve that dilemma.

This is great, Deborah! So bold and colorful! Keep at the Inktenses--it'll be fun to see what develops ;D.
I really like the look ofAunt Margie's watering can. It looks so lively. The whole drawing and the bright colors make me smile. Jean
What a happy painting this is! I can definitely see your passion for colors here. It's just charming, and the composition is reaaly working well, cards is a grand idea. We all want one, or two or a dozen!
