Big Bear Big Brush
100 Day Project Day 92 I really wanted to nail this today, but I’m stopping to let the paper rest before going in to fix the eye, and finishing up. It’s hilarious to me that I am avoiding like the plague another class piece because it’s watercolour, and yet I’ve dived in with this one…

Beard Profile
100 Day Project Day 91 These drawings are both from the same reference, and it’s interesting the way they differ from each other. The first is small, in my A5 sketchbook, drawn using an HB mechanical pencil. The reference photo was in colour on my PC monitor, and quite small. The second drawing is on…

Blending Skills
100 Day Project Day 90 I can’t believe I’ve made it to Day 90 without missing a day. I was not expecting to get it quite so successfully in the bag. Go me. I randomly picked up my copy of Austin Kleon’s gem of a book, Show Your Work, which I highly recommend. I haven’t…

Mixed Day
100 Day Project Day 89 Something I dislike is being interrupted when I am in the middle of something, and this also means that on days like today, where I know there is a delivery due at soime point, and I even know it will be late in the day, I just can’t settle to…

Not Painting That
100 Day Project Day 88 How I have procrastinated about a small watercolour portrait class today…. four pages in my A5 spiralbound sketchbook – two pages of graphite sketching, and two pages of Neocolor IIs sketching… making a mixed media background spread in my little square sketchbook… making another background in my altered book project……

Tuesday Museday
100 Day Project Day 87 We didn’t get to see any more Aurora because the short window there may have been some visible required a lack of cloud, which our postcode could not provide. This is not unusual. I guess you could say that aurora going on behind a blanket of cloud is another pretty…

Invisible Productivity
100 Day Project Day 86 I read something somewhere recently about ADHDers making to do lists is more to do with the endorphin hit of the doing – list-making – than it is about getting anything on the list done. It was a humour post by an ADHD person, and of course I can’t remember…

Sketchbook Sunday
100 Day Project Day 85 We went for another late night wander last night to see if we could see the Northern Lights again, but they weren’t showing themselves, and it started to cloud over. We tried a different spot up the back of the town further away from the lights, which I think would…

Aurora Borealis
100 Day Project Day 84 Not a lot of time to art today because I had a lot of things to do, and I had a late start. I was wandering around the beach until around 2am last night trying to take photos of the Aurora. I didn’t get many decent ones, mostly because night…

Not there yet
100 Day Project Day 82 She’s getting there. So many layers on this one, which is a lot of fun. She’s still in-betweeny, but hopefully I’ll wrap her up tomorrow. I get so caught up inb layers and then get to a point where I just have to move on. Til the morn, Suzanne

The Overton Window Is Broken
100 Day Project Day 81 Someone clearly smashed the Overton Window, because today UK Labour welcomed with fanfares the defection to their party of one of the most unpleasant Tory MPs in Westminster. She’s an anti-abortion, racist, homophobic, transphobic, sex offender defending, survivor attacking horror crank, and UK Labour are happy to have her. In…
