Hi, I promised you Dawn French would be here, sort of, and I may have stretched the truth just a little bit.......lol
My Art homework this week was to do a sketch in pencil of Dawn and also a watercolour of her, have nearly finished this sketch and still have to work on the watercolour part. (so much better than that blooming toad I had to do a couple of weeks ago.....yuck) If you have never heard of Dawn who is a brilliant comedienne you can google her and see for yourselves whether I have captured her likeness, but don't look too hard, remember I am learning............aaaaahhhh
Also would like to show you Me and My Shadow which is done in distress inks and Psychedelic Man which is done in alcohol inks only.
Am showing these at PaintParty Friday which is a brilliant Art Blog where they have the most fabulous Artists and some wonderful people, ooh am so loving seeing their art. If you would like to see their wonderful works just tap PaintParty Friday on my sidebar and you will be transported.
I hope you are not too disappointed with my impression of Dawn. Still have so much to learn and loads of practising yet to do. I think Da Vinci's job is safe don't you................lol
Thank you for visiting me and hope you all have a wonderful weekend, Hugs Annette x

You didn't disappoint us, Annette. I especially like the rainbow man shadow piece. The colorful one using alcohol inks is terrific too. I don't know Dawn so I'd say you did a marvelous drawing based on perspective. All in all you get an A+

Annabelle ~^..^~
ah, each one is wonderful.
Don't know if it's intentional, but that first image reminds me of Ann Wilson (of Heart). Love the expression on her face.
And thanks for the comment on my blog!
oh wow!!! these are amazing pieces....wonderful work!!!!
Hi Netty. You art is amazing.
I love Dawn French. (Funny ,but in the 1990's I used to look like her...similar features and comical grin. I used to get remarks about it all the time. I was much, much thinner though. Just the same face!)
The shadow and psychedelic man are great too. You are such a good girl to do all your homework and all the 'yucky' things...I love toads so to me they are not 'yucky' at all
Sue xx
