I've been in a big drawing rut for a while now, but forced myself to draw while I watched this French 70's movie, "Don't Deliver Us From Evil." I've wanted to get away from just drawing girls, but the two main actresses were too cool looking not to draw. Here are some Post-It drawings of Anne (Jeanne Goupil), a long-limbed sociopathic school girl. She's not always this deadpan in the movie.
Also, a warning- while this movie is interesting to watch, I had a hard time getting through it because of some disturbing themes, and some really horrible treatment towards animals. I really don't deal well with that type of thing. So if you're sensitive about that sort of thing, maybe skip this one. Part of me would like to re-watch the movie and do some more drawings of the other main actress as well, but I'm not sure that'll happen anytime soon.
Here's one more watercolor, which I saved for last because it's pretty sloppy and I didn't want it at the top with the other stuff.
Thanks again for coming back!

Great stuff! I like them all, but I actually like the bottom "sloppy" one the best! Very cool, loose style - I love it!
The one at the bottom is absolutely beautiful!
It's always a pleasure to see your drawings. Oh and I love the smoothness of your watercolor at the top. Lovely!
Yeah, I like the bottom one too. Sexy.
yeah i agree with everybody, i love the angle of the bottom one.. and the sloppiness
Hmm. Drawing while watching films? That's a really good approach to flex the ol' art muscles. May have to pick up the practise myself.
Thanks guys! That's how it always goes...the one I'm least confident about turns out to be the one other people like. I suppose that's why we have blogs though- for feedback. :)
i'm for sloppy, too, katie! something really vibrant and immediate in that pov, her lined eyes...the use of the red. love the gestures of the sociopathic skinny girl, too! great stuff! "-)
The last one is Gorgeous!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT ALL!
I don't meant to toot your horn too much Katie, but you are the best! I'm so happy about your newest explorations in paint.
I just watched Don't Deliver Us From Evil and you've got the Anne's character nailed.
...although, her bangs could use a little more crookedness ;)
hehe, i'm teasing.
post more!
your work is always full of surprises! I love it :)
All of these are lovely <3 I think the bottom one is so captivating because it's so dramatic :)
All of these are great and the watercolors particularly blow me away.
The last one is great
Wowie wow!
Do you watercolor regularly? You have a good hand for it I really like those top ones.
So cool. These watercolors are grand.
wow !!
Beautiful, Katie.
I think that last watercolor is one of the best things i've seen of you. I love it.
very nice!
very nice!
Such happiness/relief to see someone else's blog colour in harmony with her work... sweet as always, hope to see more soon.....
More, more, more!! Liking the 'new' banner too!
What you refer to as sloppiness at the bottom is definitely a really excellent beautiful organic work. There are elements in that last one there that tonnes of people struggle to capture in watercolour.
Just found your tumblr today. I really really like your water colors.
Wonderful watercolors, brilliant colors, too
Really amazing stuff!
I love the two girls water color. Awesome work Katie!
