| Because I love blue, I decided to expand my horizons and sketch in blue with white accents, although in these pictures, taken without a flash on this overcast day, the white area looks more like cream. I do, however, realize that sketching with a blue Micron pen might plunge me into the danger zone. Why? Because I may never change colours again. Seriously, though, it is fun.
I also fancy blue and white porcelain, but, unfortunately, I do not own any. In the spring, when the flea markets open, I will look for a few pieces. At one point, though, I did own a blue and white vase for growing crocuses. Unfortunately, it got lost in a move. Blue windmills swept around the vase. It was lovely. Who knows maybe one of these days I may draw a few old blue windmills too.

I love these sketches. Blue is my favorite color, but I would not have thought to draw with it. Nice work Dixie!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carolyn. I agree and I have to be careful not to overpower my world with blue. If, of course, that is even possible. :)
DeleteOh how I love the hue blue. Your sketches are magnificent, Dixie, sooo much lovely detail!
ReplyDeleteI love these drawings. They remind me of blueprints. So I guess these would be botanical blueprints. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt looks incredible, Dixie! I can easily see this on porcelain. May be you paint your own porcelain.

Lovely!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I'm loving these. Well done, Dixie. The snail is my fav. Thanks sooo much for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Penny. I did enjoy that sketch and as you will soon see I do have a few more up my sleeve.
DeleteWhen I use a pencil my sketches tend to be very light, so the blue will keep them from vanishing as they age.
