I’ve painted a new long handled tote bag for my Etsy shop. This was inspired by my mum- we sometimes call her Mrs Holiday because she is a big fan of cruises now and when she isn’t on one she is talking about wanting to be on one or how marvellous they are. I would have put I’d rather be cruising on the bag but it might be taken the wrong way 😉
I plan my rough composition on paper first. I started by drawing the outlines with Derwent Inktense Blocks
Inktense blocks. I then applied layers of inktense (blocks
I think Inktense are becoming my favourite medium as I love the variety of ways you can use them. I also love being able to use them on some differemt surfaces. I love painting bags as shopping bag totes are an essential item and I love being able to have personalised one of a kind bags which take my art outside the 4 walls of houses and exhibitions!

I hear you sentiment loud and clear.. We are all sick in the house right now so when we all get better a holiday would be the best.. I love this card Elaine! The vivid colors and yet put together to make it kind of soft and dreamy. Your scene is so pretty and I cannot believe it is watercolor. It looks like oil pastel. Just a fantastic job.. Thank you so much for joining us at MMM.
Cyber Hugs,
