New Sketchbook Project
I didn’t have much time today as we went for a seven mile walk, which was beautiful and autumnal. I got another of the wee 9x14cm Art Creation sketchbooks specifically to use with my 3×5″ gel plate. Yes, one of those measurements is imperial and one is decimal and that’s how I roll. I used…

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,…

Six In One
Yesterday I used a background that had been done quite a while back as the substrate from my painting. Late in the evening I pulled a few more bits and pieces from my rack of part-done work to see if anything else called to me to be finished. One of things I pulled out was…

I had a lot of fun chilling and pulling out random materials with no focus on a finished Thing, just play. I have this old, old A4 spiral sketchbook that I really want…

Printing Paraphernalia
100 Day Project Day 78 My mixed media girl is drowning in layers today, which is lots of fun, but she’s currently in a soggy almost out of ugly stage, and every photo I try to take has weird glare, so there’s no photo update on her. I got one of my gel plates out…

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,…
