November morning practices: Birds I want to carry

November morning practices: Birds
I want to carry the Inktober spirit to November, therefore I picked birds as a topic to draw 30 days continuously.

It wasn’t as easy this time around. The beginning was of course not much struggle. But the last few days I was losing interest and also got sick. I was pushing through at the end.

Overall, I enjoyed this challenge I gave myself. I have tried different approaches to draw birds and learned quite a bit from them.🥰🥰🥰

November urban sketching is with the rehearsal of @staatsphilharmonie

Such an amazing and immersive experience to sketch with wonderful live music. I had to put down my pen many times to listen and enjoy their music. My body swayed along with the music while I was sketching.

Thank you very much, @uskmannheim and @staatsphilharmonie !!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Some of the sketches will be exhibited at Rosengarten Mannheim, along with the Music Concert this Saturday!

Me and my husband went to see the abstraction exhibition in @wilhelmhackmuseum yesterday. We were both inspired and excited. There is a workstation for everyone to try making abstraction art. We had a great time playing with shapes and geometry there!🥰

I have been eyeing this “Art creation by Talens” sketchbook for quite some time. The cover is so beautiful and the paper inside is white instead of cream color!

There were not many reviews on the white paper version. Those I have found are pretty diverse, some said they are the same, some said they are totally different. I think I can only try for myself.

For ink, I think they are pretty similar. I feel like the white paper can take a little bit more ink than the cream one, just slightly. But for watercolor, sadly colors became so dull and greyish.🥹🥹🥹 For Gouache, it is as usual, perform nicely on different surfaces. The dye-based Koh-i-Noor Anilinky brilliant watercolor has no problem at all.

The white paper doesn’t take as much water as the cream one. First light wash is ok, color turns dull after drying. If your brush touches it the second time, it starts to show signs of peeling. And this is just color swatches, I haven’t paint yet.

Let’s see how it goes when I start to paint in the future. Maybe it will be better(or not😂😂😂).

I stopped using the Hobonichi at some point. I moved on to use normal sketchbook after I developed a habit of daily sketching.

I documented how Homo sapiens gather fruits in the wild today.🤣🤣🤣 Some of them used tools and some of them just climbed up the tree.

Those Kaki trees are beautiful! Apparently my raccoon side of me is suppressed by the arty side of me. I draw them instead of trying to eat them.🤣🤣🤣

Carry on with the inktober spirit, I am trying to focus on birds this month.
I started the first day on a cheap sketchbook, but I forgot the paper inside doesn’t take watercolor at all. So I went back to a better sketchbook. Therefore I had 2 pages for day 1!🙈🙈🙈
