| Chickens in the meadow |
I'm reading a book, "Show Your Work" by Austin Kleon. And in the book, he encourages artists to share the process of creating, trying new things, and even failures. So these are some things I've done today.

| Hollyhocks |

| Spring sheep |
The Hollyhocks and Chickens are drawn with white gesso from a squirt bottle on black mat board. After the white outline dries, I added pastel. I like the vivid colors and texture, so I was just 'playing'.

| Goldfinch with sunflowers |
The Sheep were done on watercolor paper with a white gesso outline. Then I painted watercolor on the paper. The white gesso isn't the easiest thing to draw with. It's hard to get detail when you have to keep the bottle moving in order not to get a blob of white anywhere.
The Goldfinch painting was drawn with black pen on Yupo (white plastic paper) and then I painted it. The color stays vivid because the paint lays on top of the plastic.
