Monotype Printing
I am never short of ideas, and that’s what’s so funny/frustrating about a lot of days when I go to the studio, and then stand there wondering “what am I going to paint???” Today I didn’t have that feeling, although I did a whole bunch of procrastinating before I went to the studio, so it…

Pulling
Today I got a wee parcel with two gel plates from a brand I haven’t tried before, so that was a nice way to get back into the studio and mess about with paints. I’ll have to give them a few sessions before I can decide whether they are like for like, or an improvement,…

New Art Materials and Hares
Late last night I had an idea which I immediately acted upon. I used my phone to resize one of my large hare wips and printed it, then using charcoal I made a transfer for my gel plate. I transferred it onto a small card, and I will see where it goes from there. It’s…

I’ve chosen an image I’ve sketched from before, and I have the permission of the photographer to use his photo as…

Multi-faceted Day
100 Day Project Day 42 Some days are more productive than others, and that’s just the way the paint flows. Sorry, I’ll get my coat. Some days are more productie than others, and the productivity is so varied there’s no finished gem to decorate the blog, and that’s OK. I started out in my sketchbook,…
