Bit Salty
100 Day Project Day 26 Under other circumstances I would not be including the image of the paintings I did today, because they don’t look like much, but I’m committed to succeeding in this 100 day thing, so here they are. There’s a lot of water on there, as well as the salt, and they…

Keep Going
100 Day Project Day 25 Today has been a rough day, and I don’t have much to say. I did get a line drawing onto some watercolour paper, so it wasn’t a total washout of a day. Tomorrow is a new day, Til the morn, Suzanne

Lotus Pods
100 Day Project Day 24 Last night an idea developed in my imagination that started out from, actually I’ll save that part of the story and tell it when/if the idea is resolved on a canvas. The next develpoment of the idea was this morning’s sketchbook practise, that involved making these graphite studies of lotus…

Quick Messy Face
100 Day Project Day 23 My darling lurcher lodger went home today, and although he was only here for 3 nights, the house now feels empty. I had a lot of boring things to catch up on, which I did, but I was perilously close to not getting any art done, so I grabbed one…

Landscape Sketch
100 Day Project Day 22 A driech day, but perfect for a wander with the lodger lurcher, and driech means less bams. We wandered the edge of the field, and I took some photos for references later. Our lodger, however, was much more interested in sniffs, especially sniffs outwith his usual repertoire. He’s an older…

Sketchbook Saturday
100 Day Project Day 21 Day 2 working in my sketchbook with limited supplies while keeping my lodger dog company. He slept like a log. I filled 10 pages in one of my A5 books, using coloured pencils, neocolor II crayons, watercolours, and water brushes in various combinations. My favourites are the two portraits in…

Lurcher Lodger
100 Day Project Day 20 I have a doggie pal lodging for the weekend, which is food for the soul. He’s a bit of an old man, so I will probably be lodged downstairs on the couch keeping him company. That’s what I did this afternoon, and I took a sketchbook and a limited selection…

Not Nice
100 Day Project Day 19 There’s a bit of discourse on the socials about the word nice, and some people are just finding out that being nice isn’t the same thing as being kind, or being good, and that being nice, Nice, is more of a facade that covers a lot of nasty. It’s not…

Figure Version 5.0
100 Day Project Day 18 Feeling a bit wordless as I’ve already written a post over on Substack today. Paint wise, today I have been working on two things. The first is the contiuning saga (in my head) of an oil painting I am doing for a Let’s Face It class. It’s an interesting one…

Vermillion and Mars
100 Day Project Day 17 I have a confession to make. I bought the sketchbook. I’m beyond redemption. Oh well, fit a shame, never mind. It won’t arrive for a couple of days, but I did get a new tube of vermillion acrylic as my old one died a death that no swirl aboot with…

Mini painting to the rescue
100 Day Project Day 16 Today is one of those days where the creativity didn’t happen. Some days are like that, and it’s OK. I am committed to this 100 Day Project thing, tho, so I didn’t want to miss a day, so I went to my trusty 6×8 watercolour blocks and grabbed a blank…

Circles and Spirals
100 Day Project Day 15 I am obsessing about the sketchbook I decided I really can’t justify buying. I am just writing this here because I think it’s hilarious that I am now even more obsessed with buying the thing than I was before I counted all my sketchbooks, piled them up, and decided adding…
