Easter Greetings 2025.
I am enjoying a lovely long weekend. Lots of Easter sketching!I have two videos for you of sketching a hot across bun in watercolour pencil and step by step photos of an small soft toy rabbit.
These are my annual Easter sketches that I have been doing for at least 10 years. I get to try our new hot cross buns each and practice my rabbit after his emergence from the cupboard where he lives for the rest of the year.
- Warm Grey II
- Payne’s Grey
- a Pink Madder Lake – nose
- Black
and then onto the serious stuff…
- Ivory
- Warm Grey II
- Burnt Ochre
- Paynes grey
- Dark Sepia
- Black (coloured pencil) – I use for the lines where I dont want the pigment to dissolve or blend. This is the only non watercolour (in coloured pencil) pencil that I have in my sketchkit.
And a second video. What happened next…
new colours of
- Light Cadmium Yellow
- Cream
Farewell from the Easter Bunny
note: the darker the colour around his tail, more white it appears becasue it stands out more.
and he left a colourful Easter Egg for me to sketch in my Zoom catchup with UK sketching friends Sue, Jules and Jean.
