Sunny and Scared

-
I doodled these pages while sat in the hot sun.
The ones below were done indoors. The whole atmosphere of them is different to the pages above isn't it? It might not be the light, it could possibly be because I'm thinking of this week's word 'shaky'!

I'm not scared of bats but I am scared of owls with very long legs, ...and I'm scared of spilling salt!

Hot here too, Jess. But it's expected. I had a few bats swoop[ me a few evenings ago about dusk. It excited me! I loved them investigating what I was.
Your blue and pink work is lovely and that weather stick...I WANT ONE!

I love your doodles!!! Especially the ones you did outside! I'm scared of slugs can you believe it? Must be years of growing up in wet windy Wales where they would always lurk outside my front door waiting for me to step on them, YUCK!!!

Hi Jess, I love the doodles you did outside. The drawings on the right hand page would look amazing as a pattern for something... maybe printed onto a tote/shopper bag?

Illustration Friday: Fluid

-
Image
This is my painting for this week's Illustration Friday word.  I first drew it with a black fineliner pen, added watercolour and finished the shading with coloured pencils. I don't know why I'm drawing fish recently, it could be the shape. They're similar to leaves aren't they, and teardrops or raindrops? I tend to draw a lot of spirals too.  What shapes do you have a tendency to draw? (close-up view) Don't forget I have a 10% discount in my Etsy shop this week! :)

Summer Breeze

What's happened to the weather? It's raining and windy and my gas was switched of all day yesterday so it was cold too! This little sketch popped into my sketchbook from my windy head. I finished this painting on canvas above a few days ago, it's called 'Safe Harbour' and soon after finished the other painting (with the bird flying a kite) too. I didn't have a name for it until the end and I decided upon 'Summer Breeze'. That was a day when the sun was still shining but the wind was beginning to stir. Summer Breeze sounds quite soothing doesn't it and I quite like the song of the same name. :) That guitar intro takes me back to being 13 before teenage angst really set in! Windy and rainy it might be but my latest painting is filled with a peaceful setting of pattern and colour. I like textures and the effects of different painting techniques and I'm trying to balance randomness with pattern. Not an easy ta...

Dreamlike Painting

-
Image
I like to make pictures that aren't a conventional landscape, so that the ground and the sky are interchangeable, dreamlike, floating. These paintings are done using my Tombow dual brush pens, the watercolour effect is made by adding water to the pen marks with an ordinary brush. This next one below is painted in watercolours and the black is done in waterproof drawing pens. Next is a picture made with my coloured pencils that I've had for ever. They might be ancient but they still do the job!  Oh. And my black pentel brush pen and a gold gel pen. I love a bit of gold. And finally here's a cute little cucumber that Middle Daughter grew in her garden. It looks like a lemon doesn't it? It's about the same size as a satsuma and I think they're called lemon cucumbers but let me assure you they taste like a very tasty cucumber. Have a great week!xx
