All Will Be Revealed
I’m posting an older sketch from my Strathmore Grey sketchbook today, because the art and creativity that I did today aren’t for showing yet. It’s that secretive time of year, you know 😉 Til the morn, Suzanne 287/300

Sketchbook Experiment
An odd little postcard from today’s creativity showing part of a page in my sketchbook where I am working out an idea, and experimenting with how I want to paint it. Til the morn, Suzanne 286/300

Migraine Day 2 but I did manage to get this underpainting done, oil on canvas paper. Til the morn, Suzanne 285/300

Art Interrupted
I started working on this little canvas again today, just blocking in some values, and deciding what I want to do next. Unfortunately the migraine I thought might start yesterday made itself known today, and I’ve had a lovely blurry day. poo. Til the morn, Suzanne 284/300

Fit a Trachle
A long day today. We had a lovely 7 mile walk taking in a bit of the River Ness, a bit of the Moray Firth, and a bit of the Caledonian Canal. Then some lunch, and catching a train late afternoon to return home. Unfortunately that train got stuck behind a broken train, so we…

Books and Wolves
I spent most of the the day browsing books, mostly in Leakey’s Bookshop (Inverness), and purchases were made. That was the whole point of the trip, so well done me. The tail end of Storm Bert was making itself known with rain and biting wind, so wandering about wasn’t the best fun, but we did…

Sunday Travel Sketches
Sat in a hotel room in very poor lighting on a very uncomfortable chair munching salad leaves and playing with my “travel art kit”. I took a 9x14cm sketchbook that I haven’t done very much in, and a cheap fineliner pen. I decided at the last minute to grab the travel palette that I bought…

Saturday Storm
Storm Bert upended all the plans for today, and we haven’t departed yet. This meant I had time to put the finishing touches to this one, and although it’s not my thing, I like the end result. Til the morn, Suzanne 280/300

Watercolour and Mood
I was not in the mood today. I didn’t sleep very well, and I am minorly distracted by an upcoming wee trip, and knuckling down to anything wasn’t happening today. I did do a couple of rounds of fixing all the charcoal, pastel and graphite drawings I have done recently. Luckily it was dry outside,…

Older Woman Sketch
I could have pushed this one a bit further, but she was done in around forty minutes and then the delivery guys arrived with the new washing machine, so that changed the focus of the day. The new washing machine is lovely and quiet, and very twirly, and the old one was taken away for…

Grungey
I finished the art journal spread with the abstract collage that I started yesterday. I made good use of the vermillion soft pastel that I bought recently to top up an order so as to get free postage. I’m a big fan of vermillion. This spread was inspired by a Jerney Marisha Let’s Face It…

Abstract Collage
Today was one of those days where I got up to lots of different things, but none of them are at particularly photogenic stages of development. I’m not averse to putting up bad art, but boring in-between stages where things are drying isn’t inspiring to blog about. So, here’s a bit of an in-progress art…
