From the artists studio... new drawing

Silhouettes of Winter Trees I copyright elisa ann lindstrom


All of the leaves have fallen in my neighborhood and I was inspired by how beautiful they look. I've decided to start a new series of ink on paper drawings around this theme.

This drawing has sold. If you have any questions about this piece, you can contact me at info (at) elisaannlindstrom (dot) com or connect with me through my Etsy store.

I know Thanksgiving is now over but I was inspired to draw this little family of birds this weekend. I love how messy they are. What have they been up to?

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

From the artists studio...

Today I'm experimenting/playing/working with ink and watercolor in the studio. So far I like what is going on. Drawing with ink has a very different feel and look than drawing with charcoal. I love how sketchy and impromptu my drawings look in ink. I wanted to add some color to the tree trunk picture to see how the ink & watercolor works with my drawing style. Not every piece turned out exactly as I planned (the birds on a wire for instance). That's what I love about working in mixed media and trying out new things. When something doesn't work, I just have to let it go.
