Illustration Friday: Skinny

-
After I drew this I realised I must have been influenced by all the Halloween ghoulishness (is that a word?) going on around me today. Why the teapot and cup of tea? Um...not sure yet. I don't know about you but I look back at a drawing a few days later and it suddenly occurs to me what was in my subconcious!
Very revealing, this business of drawing! ;)

Jessie...you should definitely think about that book of your own!!! You're on a roll. I love the clean crisp lines. And of course the medium you work in. Love it. Just how I feel every morning when I need my cup of tea to start me up!

I thnk that's a really cool drawing, so whatever's going on in your subconscious it's mighty intriguing! Really, it's one of my favourites now. Are you by any chance publishing a calendar featuring your work?

:):) Hi Jessie, I'm going to bed now with a big smile, taking this image here into my dreams, and oh yes, this looking back at a drawing a few days later and the "click" it makes when you actually see what you were drawing....know that one well!
Have a wonderful week and check what's in your teapot...

Thankyou all! I had the idea for this but it didn't occur to me that the teapot would have to be transparent until I was at the painting stage. It was then that I remembered that thing we have...Artistic Licence!x

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.
