art thread?

Hi folks. I've just bought a box of coloured pencils, and will be working on my first drawing soon. I'll post the completed work here. Would love people to post their art here for us to see. Doesn't matter what type of art - drawing, painting, photos/photo manipulation, cake decorating, quilting, poetry, origami, whatever. Let's have some fun and show our creativity. 🙂

You're a very clever little budgie, . I can't paint water, too tricky. I love the way you've done the mountains too.

Pimpy, thank you, but I am no acomplished painter. Just like dabbling with paints. Have done quite a few paintings that my family liked and have them hanging on their walls. I can do landscapes, but am hopeless at painting animals or portraits. It's enjoyable and relaxing, and that's all I care about.

I'll try anything to see if I can be good at it and if I enjoy the time creating. I'll never make a name for myself or become famous and make big money with my creations, but who cares, as long as I am having fun spending my spare time creating.

Here are is one of my knitting pieces I designed myself. Handspun the wool, dyed it and made a coat for my best friend in the north of America.

The black background is a natural colour from a black sheep, the other colours were spun first from a white sheep. I loved spinning and miss it now. Can't use a conventional wheel anymore because of back trouble, and can not afford an electric wheel. Maybe one day I'll winn Lotto and can go back to my fafourite hobby.

I went to the art store to buy some paint yesterday and saw that this site has free art lessons ...

Erica...........adore the coat....how clever of you to spin the wool and dye it as well.

I did some spinning  a few years back.  Did enjoy it.

Thanks for the link katy. I very briefly watched some videos, and they are quite detailed.
