More ACEO art cards

These small paintings are a great way to practice watercolor technique. Adding just a touch of pen and ink to bring out detail. Hummingbirds are still one of my favorite subjects.

The artists' way of seeing-

“Many artists have spoken of seeing things differently while drawing and have often mentioned that drawing puts them into a somewhat altered state of awareness. In that different subjective state, artists speak of feeling transported, “at one with the work” , able to grasp relationships that they ordinarily cannot grasp. Awareness of the passage of time fades away, and words recede from consciousness. Artist say that they feel alert and aware yet are relaxed and free of anxiety, experiencing a pleasurable, almost mystical activation of the mind.”
