Penguins and Chameleons

-


Oooooo I'm been away from here for a while haven't I?
The schools have been off for a week for half term so my painting grinds to an (almost!) halt. I have however, found a few minutes to draw a little penguin for my penguin mad daughter.


We went for walks in the woods.



I've also been thinking about chameleons and how they can change colour. This one is done with a purple biro but I can feel the need for some watercolour splashing coming on! I'm off for an overdue dose of paint and I'll be back soon with the results.

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
