Quick Sketch
Not much time for art today, but I made time for a quick sketch of a Gannet, one of my favourite birds. I’m dog-sitting again, so I have a wee friend for a couple of weeks. Yay! Til the morn, Suzanne 125/200

Hare Brained
My lodger has departed *sniff* I need no presents or rewards for dog-sitting, but a beautiful sketchbook was given to me anyway, and I seem to need a lot of sketchbooks. Ha. This one is 120gsm paper, so I’m inspired to just use it for graphite sketching. It’s 9×12″ so it’s a nice size for…

Wildflowers
Happy Sunday I don’t have a lot of chat today, mostly because I had a lively night of insomnia, and I’m knackered. We are still dog-sitting, and on one of our daunders I spotted a nice clump of purple Granny’s Bonnets sharing space with some dainty Cow Parsely, and so that’s what I sketched in…

Operation Sketchbook
100 Day Project Day 96 I’m still thinking that it would be affa fine to finish one of my sketchbooks alongside completing the 100 Day Project, so I’ve put little page markers in the book to mark out how many pages I need to fill each day to get it done. It’s basically two spreads,…

Beard Profile
100 Day Project Day 91 These drawings are both from the same reference, and it’s interesting the way they differ from each other. The first is small, in my A5 sketchbook, drawn using an HB mechanical pencil. The reference photo was in colour on my PC monitor, and quite small. The second drawing is on…

No Bears
100 Day Project Day 77 I started my online day being served a very bad AI image of a group of young women being chased by a humongous bear. I mean all AI images are very bad images, not least because they steal from creators, but the women’s faces in this image were distorted and…

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…

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…

100 Day Project Day 2
I’ve been listening to podcasts while doing some organising of my art supplies today, and more than one had discussions about social media and perfectionism, and that is one of the reasons I often lose momentum on these art every day type challenges. I’m going to try not to do that this time. So here’s…

100 Day Project 2024 Day 1
Just in at the last minute for Day 1 of the #100dayproject, although this blog is being posted on Day 2, but that’s how I roll. It was after 10pm here when I remembered, so this is a quick sketch using a selfie profile photo for reference. No daylight for taking the pic of the…
