This month’s box was all about GREEN.

It was also a marker-based box. One thing I’ve learned from the thirteen boxes I’ve received, is that I’m just not into making art with markers. But I do like these Acrylograph pens. The ink is lovely and opaque, and though they tend to spatter a bit if you draw quickly, it does make for an interesting effect. Hairy lines, I am into you.

The theme was “succulent” but drawing plants seemed a little obvious, so I went for something sitting on something succulent.

What I found, though, was the lack of any other colour made the green less satisfying. It needed a pop of complementary colour. A dash of pink or crimson or a reddish ochre would have given the frog more oomph.
