This young woman is an Activist Poet and Speaker and she was a host at the SCBWI conference. She had a way and rhythm with words, I’m glad she found her niche. I loved her hair and I enjoyed painting it in watercolor.
These are a series of sketches I did in pen and ink and watercolor for last year’s October challenge entitled, “Inktober,” which is an artist’s personal challenge to create an ink drawing for all 31 days of October. They encourage a theme, so I decided my theme would be flowers and herbs. The great part at the end of this was I became really comfort using pen and ink, a medium I often was hesitant and shaky to use, simply because I can’t paint over mistakes.
One of the very best herbs….
