  • Teeth

    Teeth

    This was an interesting exercise. The reference is in black and white, but it is quite overexposed, leaving not much in the way of value, and no colour clues, so I had quite a lot of room for interpretation. The teeth were quite a challenge, because of the small size of the paper, but I…

  • Old and New

    Old and New

    I finished a sketchbook today. Yay! It’s an A4 spiral bound that I think I started all the way back in 2013, so it has been picked up and abandoned a number of times, and it has a lot of different things going on. I went through a short phase a couple of years ago…

  • Looking

    Looking

    The beauty of a timed exercise practise is the way it trains you to make choices about what to leave in, and what to leave out, to get to a resolved piece by the time the beeper beeps. The exercise isn’t entirely about that, though, it’s also just the practise of looking. Til the morn,…

  • Self Care

    Self Care

    Yesterday was A Lot, and not just the Supreme Court verdict, and the regression of rights, there were other things to process. Today I took a day off portraiture. I still intend to complete my 100 Day Project, but today needed to be a day of doing more playful stuff, so that’s what I did.…

  • WHUT

    WHUT

    My response to every sentence of the UK Supreme Court verdict today. WHUT? None of that bullshit is about “protecting women”. Fuck transphobia. Til the morn, Suzanne 424/500

  • Contrast

    That feeling when a sketchbook is so close to finished, and it’s stappit fu o character. Twenty minute sketches, graphite on 9×12 sketchbook. Til the morn, Suzanne 423/500

    This Week’s Theme Is…

    Challenging expressions. Day51/100 I’m tempted to just stick with this one reference photo for the week, as I think I can get a lot out of this one. I’ve chosen a few for the week, tho, just to carry on with the experiment of planning and theming. I really wanted to be working on a…

  • Fifty Days Fifty Portraits

    Fifty Days Fifty Portraits

    Day 50 of the 100 Day Project and here are all fifty portraits. There was one portrait that I completed over two days because I was having a pain issue, and there was another day early on where I was so appalled at what I painted that I painted a second portrait, so I’m including…
