This last year I’ve been so pathetic keeping up with holidays, I feel that I must put effort into improving my concentration and awareness. I need to do away with the Oh I thought it was monster.
At present, I’m working on a pen, ink and watercolor from years ago. This one has been cut down to fit a 11x 14 inch pre-cut mat. I’m ordering the plexiglass from Dick Blick online. I’m anxious to see how the edges are trimmed. I like my watercolor ink drawings framed with Swiss clips.
Oh! The 6 AM alarm I was keen on doing. On day one I changed my mind. Well, guess what on the dot hour I woke up to with no alarm on the next morning!? Yes indeed, it was 6 AM! 🤣 I didn’t go back to sleep. Now at almost 2 PM, my eyes are straining to stay open.
Have a Wide Awake Weekend!

| Pen mark mishap Will make it part of the drawing |
Update 1 March 2026
I love that you turned a mishap into a design opportunity. I'm guessing that's the one you are matting and framing? I like it!
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteYes, that is the drawing I’m working on. It is important to only use waterproof ink pens so there’s no running into the watercolor. I put a piece of painters tape on them. Better sense is to only buy waterproof pens.

Yes, great work on making it part of the art. Well done, you.
ReplyDeleteIvy,
DeleteThe image going out of frame onto the mat can be tricky, but fun.

I look forward to seeing how you rescue the mat from the pen mishap. And seeing the whole thing framed and finished. Inspiring!
ReplyDeleteBecki,
DeleteI posted the current phase of the drawing. Adding pant will finish it.

Terrific! It blends right in with the picture. Love it.
DeleteI'm hard pressed to find the 'mishap' because it all looks good to me.
