illustration friday (bottled)

The inspiration for this etegami comes from a silly poem titled "An Alphabet," by the great English nonsense poet Edward Lear (1812 – 1888). I'm always looking for excuses to paint with blue, which happens to be my very favorite color. What's yours?

    Hi Debbie,

    I love your drawing as ever! My favourite colours are red, pink and aqua blue/green. Red for dynanism and energy, pink for happiness and aqua blue green for dreaminess. Love your work, cheers Sam. :)

    Love what you've done with your (and my) favorite color! I'm always looking for excuses to use blue too.

    How fanciful and fun! I adore ink bottles. Reminds me of the HP series, of feather quills and parchment paper :) Loved the poem too, looked it up. And blue happens to be my favorite color too, followed by green :)

    I love this! And we share the same favorite color. You can tell by how much blue I use in most of my work.

    Hello! Thank you for comment. I'm very curious what is a green leaf shape novice driver in Japan :) I admire your beautiful, delicately painted watercolors, and nice typografy.
