WC Circles - When In Doubt

After doing the squares watercolor I felt like doing one with circles.
size: 8"w x 7"h
Done on Canal Paper - St Armand. Drew the center large circles for my text. Then drew all the other circles again with the extra fine point Sharpie... It was still a little too juicy so my lines again are thicker than I wanted. Painted with Peerless watercolors. Text written with the Sharpie pen.

words: When in doubt or danger, run in circles, scream & shout.

WC Squares - Being Square

It was a little too juicy so my lines are thicker than I wanted. Painted with Peerless watercolors. Text written with a Juice Up pen.

words: Being a square keeps you from going round in circles. J Vernon McGee

I'm sitting outside on this glorious sunny day and had no direction of which direction to go artistically... so I started drawing a big funky "A" and the rest evolved... on thought after another...

On Canson Pro Marker paper using just about everything I had on my table outside... Juice Up pens, Regular and Metallic Gel pens., Posca Colored pencils. Derwent Inktense, W&N & Peerless watercolors... wrote out the big letters. The I just had to put a big shadow line.
