Patterns and Blobs

-
That's better! (See previous post to see what I'm on about!)
A great excuse to paint patterns, much more up my street don't you think?


And here's one I did whilst waiting for the other one to dry. Completely unrelated, just for fun :)

I love both of these! I am really into these scarves on the biker's face! Perfect and so unexpected, too! Love it! Hey! Don't you think it is these fun ones, which come from the heart, that makes it a lot easier to go forward with the other ones? I sure do!

Wonderful Jess!

Hi Rosie, yes of course! ;o)

Hi Kim, I love to do the ones from the heart, they seem to spring out from nowhere sometimes don't they? Always the best way :)

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

Image
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...

Dreamlike Painting

-

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
