Here's a whimsical chameleon which I did
in a recent watercolour pencils class.

Cute as the dickens, isn't it?

ReplyDeleteLeapin' Lizards, it's almost lickable -- eeew!
ReplyDeleteOhhh
ReplyDeleteLove the colours and the movement!
Very nice.
XOXO
Big, big WOW on this!
ReplyDeleteTHIS is done with watercolor pencils? Ingo gave me a set of Giorgione watercolor pencils and I kinda ... find no proper way to work with them.
Yours is perfect. And such fun, too!
Wonderful idea , and well painted 😍
ReplyDeleteDid you know in Arizona you can get lollipops in them is a scorpion?
ReplyDeleteVery good!
ReplyDelete...I'm a sucker for that chameleon.
ReplyDelete@ Tom -- GROAN!
ReplyDelete@ Ur-spo -- Well, that's one way to keep the scorpion population down.
ReplyDeleteRemember getting those big all-day suckers? I am amazed you can get all that color with pencils! You really are talented with the drawing/sketching!
ReplyDeleteIt is!
ReplyDeleteI've seen pictures of Dickens, this is waaaay cuter! Such talent. I couldn't even draw the sucker let alone the chameleon.
ReplyDelete@ Iris Flavia and @Marcia LaRue -- The key to using watercolour pencils is to apply the pencil colour to a small area and then activate it as paint by going over it with a wee bit of water on a small brush. Small details (like the texture and speckling) can be added at the end just using dry watercolour pencil with no water.
ReplyDeleteI will leave the coloring to you, Sweetie! You have the talent!!!
DeleteOhhh this is just way too cute. I love this idea. Brilliant. Thank you for sharing with FFO.
ReplyDeleteI love this!

There's a chameleon in the picture? Where is it?! 😄
ReplyDeleteJust love that art so much!
ReplyDeleteLove love love it.
ReplyDeleteYour very talented.
Super cute and I love the colors. Well done.
ReplyDelete@ Mike -- Smartass!
ReplyDeleteLook carefully before you put your tongue on that middle lollipop.
ReplyDeleteInspired piece of art.
You have mad drawing and painting skills, Debra. I'm a sucker for this. (Too soon?)
ReplyDelete@ Bleubeard and Elizabeth -- GROAN!
ReplyDeleteWell, Shirley wouldn't think so. *Smiles* My Grandson had a Chameleon named Ivara and she Died on my Watch, they are adorable, but not very Owner attached and they are very difficult to keep alive, especially in dry climates. I much preferred his Bearded Dragon, which, I could keep alive for him until he could come retrieve them Months later after he found an Apartment that would allow Reptiles. I could never get over having to BUY live Insects... instead of hiring someone to kill them. *LOL* And the Beardie got to be over Two Feet long so that was intimidating, if Alduin had a bad day, everyone was gonna have a bad day... but Bearded Dragons are much like Domestic Pets, they get attached to Owners.
ReplyDeleteCute as all get out...and I love the colors too!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this. I think this is my favorite of all your Friday art. And I've been meaning to ask, do you keep bees? I see all your bee items on your page. I have bee and I'm always on the lookout for other bee keepers. Happy weekend! Hugs-Erika
ReplyDelete@ My name is Erika -- No, I'm not a beekeeper but bees are very significant to my life! Here's the explanation (just copy & paste into your browser) --

Hello Debra, I tried to look up the Telus ads, and saw lots of cute animal ones, but couldn't find a direct inspiration for your drawing. Your is probably much better, anyway.
ReplyDelete--Jim
I wonder whether chameleons actually smile?
ReplyDelete@ Old Lurker -- Only in the charming fairy-tale world of TELUS ads!
ReplyDeleteDear Shewhoseeks, I just wanted to say thanks. You have introduced me to a lively place, filled with interesting characters. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI think that is my favorite thing you've ever done. It is fabulous.
