Linocut Pictish Beastie
Two coats of gesso have unified the texture collage on the canvas, and I left it to dry overnight. I’m obsessed with the muslin texture, but I haven’t started painting on it, so I may change my mind soon enough. I dug out my linocut bits and pieces and reacquainted myself with not gouging pieces…

Texture Yumminess
I started working on the canvas drill fabric I primed the other day. It’s around 12×16″, so larger than I have been working of late. I taped it to a board and plotted the basic layout in charcoal. The only reason I did this was to have a rough idea where the face is for…

Ongoing Experiment
I thought I had solved the bleeding ink conundrum, but it was not the ink setting on the printer that caused the bleed. I had fun doing this, even though it’s technically a failure. It’s not a failure, I don’t look at art experiments that way. I have two theories. The first is that maybe…

Transparency Discrepancy
Today’s timed sketch was done using only the Blackwing 602 pencil and my shammy cloth. I think I prefer mixing the types of graphite. Now onto the main event – experimenting with the transparencies. Yesterday I printed my drawing onto tissue paper, and it was very fragile, but gave a promising result, even on a…

Recycled Stars and Inky Drips
I have been busy in my studio today doing lots of different fun things, and one of the fun things I got up to was recycling some pages from an old journal to turn them into collage fodder. I checked the pages first to see if there were any amazing insights, or delicious memories, but…

Playing in my new space
I spent today playing with different things, just seeing how my revamped space works for me. It will take me a minty to get used to things, but so far it’s a lot more fun to play in, and a lot more flexibility in what I can get up to. Having my old tall table…

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…

The Pixies Were Here
I spent today doing lots of surface prep, which means there’s basically some substrates with gesso, medium, or tinted gesso, which aren’t very exciting to post on a blog. I also spent a considerable chunk of time hunting for a small stash of collage pieces that I mislaid at some point. They’re for a specific…

Layers
I did not have a lot in the tank today, and just did a bit of work on this mixed media on cardboard project. Til the morn, Suzanne 259/300

Scuppered
I had a nice little plan for today, and idea, and a continuation of a project. I was feeling all positive about how I was going to get started without resistance, and have a super productive day. Unfortunately the plan involved using a small collection of specific collage fodder that I collected together a while…

A Ragged Screech
I figured out my weird mood yesterday when I woke up this morning with the delights of an aura migraine. Yum. Of course it’s very sunny today, which amplifies the various elements of my frothy duvet brain. This too shall pass. Despite my affliction, I got a lot more into arting today than I did…

100 Day Project Day 66 I really enjoyed the way this altered book spread came together. I’m not sure if it is finished, but that is the beauty of sketchbook/altered book/art journal pages, they can always be added to. It’s done for now. Perhaps it was easier to come to that decision because I put…
