Class Picture Day

I just realized that I never actually posted the final piece. So, here it is... I'm pretty happy with it. In fact, I used it for my last postcard mailing. (I also included the spot I used on the back).

So, thanks for the great idea Lyon!

Final Color- Fireplace and Cocoa

Well, I finally was able to finish up the piece I posted here. Here are a couple of mice enjoying their cups of hot cocoa in front of a crackling fire. I'm pretty happy with it for the most part. There is maybe one or two things I'd change, but for now I'm done.

Cocoa & Fireplace!

I kept working on this & now it's overdone, so I'll probably redo it completely. But, for now, I want to work on the classroom setting.

Cocoa Beach

Here's my sketch for "Hot Chocolate". I'd already drawn this out before I saw Kristin's mouse/cocoa piece. Great minds think alike, right pal? I'm really going to try to put color to this, but I had another grandbaby tonight and I'm also trying to keep up in 2 classes and work. I really enjoyed doing the drawing on this one though and wanted to share.

Snowball (in color)

I'm playing with using pencil value with watercolor washes over the value. This is because pencil & line are my first loves. Need some feedback: is it too muddy?--I think the color needs to be enhanced or needs to be stronger because it seems muted.

Hot Chocolate

I just purchased some Hot Cocoa mix that was imported from France.
I love all things Parisian and so here is my illustration for Hot Chocolate.
Is anyone else hungry?

"Hot Cocoa"

Hmmm, I think I'll have one for breakfast. ;)

Hot Cocoa

Miss Cocoa was the type of dog that ran in all the right circles, and those circles provided her with her very favorite drink whenever she and her owner were out and about ... Hot Cocoa.
