The country this week is Israel, so at a loss of what to do I went the easy way and did the flag. Someone remind me next time just how hard it is to do a flag.
As we can see Louise is gong to take the plunge and travel. Should the two of them meet or should they be like ships passing in the night.
I got bored the other day so I signed up for a class on lettering. I have always admired the great lettering that other artists do. I am loving it so far. Joanne Sharpe is doing an awesome job. This is called a whimsy grid. It was drawn first and then color was added using PanPastels. I really don't have the right markers for lettering but I am just going to use what I have for now. It appears the chisel markers are the best choice and I only have a few of them. This little page was pretty fun to do. I am using Strathmore's mixed media journal and I do love the paper. This class has 29 lessons for a great price. I hope to be better at lettering by the time all the lessons are done.

The simpler the design the harder it is to draw! or so I have found out!! I am interested in the lettering course - thanks for the link.
