Al Fresco Art Club Challenge, July 12, 2020 -- Ink and Watercolor à la Miyazaki

Today’s Al Fresco Art Club Challenge took place in the kitchen rather than outdoors. Besides being a little lazy, we had another good reason for staying inside: it’s too hot and windy to expose our carbon-based bodies to direct sunlight

Today’s challenge was the same as last week’s: paint an ink drawing and using watercolors. I looked into my copy of The Art of Kiki’s Deliver Service, A Film by Hayao Miyazaki and found a great drawing of Kiki lying in the grass daydreaming about her future. Rather than draw Kiki, I drew my own character, Jimmy Jay. Tonight I’m going to watch the movie again, in Japanese, of course.
