In order for me to easily find and answer queries about this Lesson I will appreciate it if everyone will keep these to this specific Lesson Posting only. This will also be of benefit to you as well in the future. Thanks

Dear Dennis;
This was fun to do but, the shadows kept playing tricks on me. The far right
tips/bits through me off. I finally just darken them in. Also, I couldn't get the
left eye figured out. All in all: if one doesn't look too hard it's "just OK".
Have a look:

:clap: :clap: :clap: Oh! Ray, this is too beautiful for words. Your pen and ink work is just so neat and absolutely precise, if that is the correct word. You obviously have the patience of Job which I think I have said before. A wonderful attribute. Patricia

:clap: :clap: :clap: Cyril and Natalie, I have just taken a walk through and seen both of your butterflies on the flower too. Great job you both have done. My apologies but I am behind in viewing and commenting. Hope to rectify the situation soon. Patricia

Here is my version. :thankyou: Dennis for this class I liked the technique. Any body ever have the nib spitting at the end of a flic, I tried many extra fine and they spit. i even have a line through the bottom wing while cross hatching. Oh well I guess practice will make it better.
-
Danielle,
If there is anything wrong with this painting, you sure did a great job camouflaging it. It's perfect!!. Gosh, it's great.

I had so many good intentions while on vacation to paint - but only managed to do one P&I! Here's my rendition of "Butterfly on a Flower" - really fun to create and I loved the "therapy" of using dots - very relaxing!
-
Looks good. :clap:
-
Sharon,
Beautiful drawing of the butterfly on the sunflower. So well done. Realistic dots and random markings.

Thanks Natalie and Mea! I can't wait to get through a few more lessons than try a P&I of my own!
-
Beautiful Sharon :clap:
We just got back ourselves last night.
Spent the day unpacking and laundry.
Anxious for tomorrow to get back painting.
-
Welcome home, Robin! How was Cabo? Glad our unpacking is done already!
-
Awesome as always Sharon. Just me and my daughter went this time. Had a great time. Lots of breaching whales out front of the resort and lots of Dolphins too.
Weather couldn't of been better. Don't think I can get any tanner than I am. So I am pleased.
Hope you had a nice visit in Maui.

Excellent, Sharon :clap: :clap: :clap:

This is what I love most

O0 Beautiful rendition Sharon. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thanks Dennis & Val! Robin - we saw tons of breaching whales in Maui, too - love how playful they are! My tan isn't that great - had some overcast days and just not enough pool lounging time...oh well, next visit!
-
An other nice pen and ink Sharon.
-
Thanks, Danielle!

Once again the only time I have for these classes is in the back of a room listening to very boring bankers meetings. I love my cell phone. The paper I use is cheap cartridge style paper that I take from the nearest copy machine and a point 005micron. When I get home I usually try to doctor up the drawing with mixed results. This attempt was so miserable I bought some low budget gouache to see what could be done. Here goes my Doodle!
-
Lovely doodle. Love the star-burst background :clap: :clap: :clap:
-
I will say that if nothing else, my doodling skills have improved. Thank you Dennis for at least getting me this far. LOL :yippee:
-
I really like this - keep having boring meetings, Bryce - they bring out the creative juices in you!
-
What a lovely pass time. :clap:
-
The Bryce,
I think the color of the flower and the b/w of the butterfly is genius! This is very creative.

Thank you for the kind words. I need to learn to translate my genius into accuracy, technique and professional acumen. Ideas get me nowhere So far. :clap:
-
Bryce your ideas are leading you to a very creative state. I really do like this. O0 :clap: :clap: :clap:
-
What a nice excercise - really enjoyed it!
-
Excellent, Elize :clap: :clap: :clap: You're really enjoying the PnI O0
-
Elize,
You did a beautiful job on this butterfly and sunflower.
Do you mind if I print it and color it like we have been talking about doing - like it was a page in a coloring book?
Should be fun, but I wouldl have to improvise on the butterfly colors.

Ooops, just realized that PB templates are copyrighted. Don't think we can color them, then post them here.
Not sure. Nolan? Dennis?

:thankyou: :thankyou: :thankyou: Yes Dennis I enjoy the PNI very very much! Mea, wow it feels like my first work of art is sold! If it is OK with Dennis and Nolan you are more than welcome to use it for colouring!

Elize,
Dennis gave me his okay to post my colored pencil coloring of your beautiful pen and ink drawing. Thanks, Dennis.
I did not know what the butterfly's real coloring was so I choose purple, the complementary color for the yellow flower.
Thanks for letting me make a coloring book page out of your drawing. I had fun doing it.
Anyone have some pointers for me in case I decide to buy a coloring book?

-
Elize, you have done an excellent job on your PNI lesson! :clap: It's beautiful with all the colors!
-
Thank you Christina!
Wow Mea, you've done a great job! In South Africa colouring books for adults are very popular. There is a great variety for anyone's taste. You can also look on websites like Pinterest - there is a lot of pictures you can download. Have fun. My next challenge is going to be the European Bee-eater in pastels and then I am struggling with the portrait in pencils (hair).
Have fun!
