End of Term Pottery Loot

-
My house is the most quiet it's been for a few days, my chance to show you the rest of the pottery I made this term. I won't be going to any more classes, me and pottery just didn't see eye to eye.
I made a couple of fun things though, so it was worth the time and effort!



Next term I've signed up for a very short course learning to do another new skill. Something I've been wanting to learn for a very long time.
Stained glass = choosing colours
(That's what I'm hoping for anyway!)

Wonderful pottery pieces - I would be so proud if I had made them. I love the face bowl and the polka dot ones the most but they are all excellent.

Nice ceramics! You will LOVE stained glass. It was my main subject at art school. It's a brilliant mixture of colour and craft. Hope you enjoy it. Watch out for that cobalt blue glass...

I love all those pieces of pottery.For my birthday last year my daughter bought me an hour's tuition on a potters wheel.It was great fun but I think I should have told the potter in advance that I was left handed!I produced 3 pieces which I was proud of and I did enjoy it.
Stained glass sounds exciting.can't wait to hear about it.

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

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...

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! :)
