I've been working on some pen + wash ideas over the Easter break. It's been such a satisfying meditative thing to do. First I do the watercolours and add colour wherever it takes my fancy. Then, after they dry, I draw with the pen responding to the colour dabs. I'm trying not to think too much as I do them but often I find myself adding more colour with a pen afterwards wherever it feels bare. If you click on the image you can see them in more detail. Hope you like them. I think the bottom one is a bit Marimekko ;)

Those are so very beautiful.
I really love the top one. Thanks for sharing them - I totally get that they can be very meditative. I might have to try that myself while the kiddos are slopping paint on paper!
Have a happy day.

P.S. I'm doing a giveaway later this week - stop by and get in!
these are beautiful. you are so talented!!
These are truly lovely pieces. I can definitely sense a very organic development — like the way water streams.
beautiful kylie~ love the combination of detail and stripes in the second one. i think the stripes are your trademark across mediums :)
nice that you had some creative meditation.
They're really lovely, Kylie. I like the technique. I've been experimenting with some watercolor lately, might have to try something like this.
These are beautiful Kylie. I just love the detail in them.
My favourite is the top one Kylie. I'm so impressed when an artist manages a limited colour palette so well. Lovely.
Lovely, inspring work Kylie - I really love the second one, beautiful colours. You've made me want to paint.

I LOVE the first one in particular- it has such a wonderful sense of movement- I was looking through your textile week as well-(since I have been away doing donkey things..)so much goodness... I have to go back and look again!(AND you are reading two books at the same time!)I am so happy I am back here! Thank you so much for sharing all these!

they are really great! I love experimenting, I would really love to be able tp have so many ideas about the color but that is the hardest thing for me to do... maybe one day I will get better
I so love how your blogging inspire me to new things, thanks for that
