This little drawing in my sketch book was perfect for a mini canvas.
I drew on the design in pen first…
Started adding some color on with my Inktense pencils…
Let the fun begin with the water-pen…
Added in detail and outline with pen…
Added a bit more green to the background…
And the butterfly has asked the turtle to…
This tiny canvas is listed in my Etsy shop for CS research.
Please pass on the link to anyone you know who may be interested!
It’s a small endeavor with a big heart. 🙂
Thanks for coming by and Happy Tuesday!
This is such a sweet piece. Those pens look pretty fun. I’ve never tried them. Take care and have a wonderful week, Connie
So sweet and friendly! 😀
Where do you find a water pen? I need to try this! Adorable!!
@Stephanie –I found my water-pens at Michael’s near the rubber stamp inks. They were clearanced, though, sort of like they were going to be discontinued, so if I were you I’d just look online. It makes coloring with water soluble pencils and crayons really fun and easy! Thanks for visiting, Stephanie!
I love the turtle! So talented!
Um, WHY don’t I have a water pen!?
This is my new favorite of the turtle canvases – the colors are so bright and he is SO stinkin cute!!! Love the text too, xoxox!
The turtle is darling! I just ordered one watercolor pens and a set of your fav pencils on Amazon.

So darling…something about turtles …you are very talented. happy Thursday.
So adorable! Perfect for a shy little someone who may be ready to come out of their shell. You know how some people are intimidated by large canvases? I’m terrified of the mini canvas, haha. You need a delicate hand like yours to do it well.
Aww… this is so, so sweet! Love the words. Adorable piece!!
I love it ! What a sweet little turtle & butterfly:))
