Reworking a Painting and My New Obsession

-

Hello there! It's been a while hasn't it? Sorry about that, I've been spending most of my social media time on Instagram and getting particularly hooked on Instagram Stories. Have you discovered them yet? It's my new obsession! My username on Instagram is @jessiespainting if you'd like to pop over and say hello, I'd love to see you!
So today I'd like to show you the latest page of my sketchbook.

I've recently been using a limited palette and this one has just 4 colours, I think it works quite well. If I make myself stick to a limited number then it stops me from going overboard with all the colours of the rainbow which is something you'll already know if you've visited here before. 
Of course there's nothing wrong with making a painting with lots of colour and I still do that too as you'll see in a moment.

You might remember this 7 x 10 inch painting I did last year on canvas board. I was having a sort out last week and when I looked at it I had an overwhelming urge to jazz it up a bit.

I actually jazzed it up a LOT.

So it's under the same listing in my Etsy shop as before with its new photos. If you'd like to have a closer look, then please CLICK HERE to take you to the page. Thankyou for looking!

I hope you're having a good week,

Jess xx

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. 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...
