We have been in Africa all week over at Clarity with Barbara Gray. You can catch up with her over on You Tube with Episodes #42 - #46. I loved drawing the figures but the Elephant and her baby I found hard to scale down enough to fit the picture and spent ages penciling in and rubbing out and in the end I just went for it. So here is my finished doodle for this week.
Some more photos from around the garden again. This one is the other poppy I have which is a bright orange. I was gutted as about half an hr after I had taken this photo the petals all fell off.!! There are another two buds to come out though.
Clematis on the front wall.
White Peony in the front garden.
Keep safe and well. Remember there is no safety in numbers.
Your drawing is fab, I love the African ladies so much detail. Pretty flowers, I'm a huge peony fan they are so big and bold, sometimes a little top heavy. I have a pink one that produces flowers as big as side plates. Stay safe x
ReplyDeleteWell done for keeping up with the visit to Africa - I've watched them all in the evenings but have yet to make a start. Grand job you've done. You have some beautiful flowers in your garden - I have lots of weeds but they flower as well, although not quite as spectacular.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have really enjoyed the African tutorials...and had fun with your creations....
ReplyDeleteGarden flowers are looking gorgeous it’s so dry up here that our garden it’s looking parched all our water butts are empty and we really do need some rain....take care xxxx
African ladies seem to always look so exquisite. I am friends with one across the road and she is so tiny but so lovely. Great card and gorgeous design.xx
ReplyDeleteLove your drawing - the black and white images and frame with the landscape in colour look stunning.
ReplyDeleteWell done on your doodling it’s absolutely brilliant l just love those elephants so adorable - lovely flowers too enjoy your weekend x

Hi Mrs A your sketch and your photos are gorgeous. I have enjoyed doodling Africa it has been a challenge at times. I have just posted my effort in the Clarity Worldwide group. Colouring next week which should be easier. Enjoy your garden. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Valery this is absolutely stunning, beautiful African ladies. I've been tuning into Barbara's tutorials, and having bought the post cards I'm colouring in the nuthatch. I've had a go at the doodles, but I'm no use at them, much prefer colouring. I am so enjoying it all.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers too, Kate x
Wow, what a fabulous drawing - it's absolutely beautiful and sums up Africa perfectly! Love the ladies and child of course and the dear little elephants are so cute! Well done. Super photos of some of your garden flowers! Peonies are almost my very favourite flower - I just knew you would have at least one o in your garden!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend.
Hugs

Oh your doodle is brilliant, what a great make. I love it. I love your white peony, I have a deep pink one just in bud now. Hope you are having a super weekend, Hazelxx
ReplyDeleteA super card Valery Anne, great image and a lovely touch with the sun and hills. Do you remember Autograph albums? well someone wrote in mine, Albums are red, albums are green but out in Afric, where I have been all bums are black. Could be classed as racist these days.
