New Term

-
This morning was the first life drawing day. A very cold day it is too and I felt sorry for any life model who had to take their clothes off in this weather!
Joy of joys one of my favourite models was there this morning

and with the heater on in the room you could almost forget it was winter!
Have a nice weekend! :)

Fabulous drawings though...I'm very impressed with the way you captured the poses!

wonderful to see your sketches!
What makes her a favorite model? Just wondering, I have never sketched live models.

Thanks Jade, yes it was quite a tricky angle I had there!

Thanks Sophia! :)

Thanks Julia, the room got really hot after a while so it was a bit of a shock coming out tof there. ;)

Thanks Tammie, I like this model because she keeps really still and has a lovely face to draw.

Thanks Millie, I hope you had a lovely weekend too. :)

Fantastic job! It's been years since I've taken a life drawing class, I adore drawing from life, but it's so darn difficult. Your sketches are wonderful, especially the first one.

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! :)
