  • Pyrrole Orange Hare

    Pyrrole Orange Hare

    I have been trying to fall in love with this sketchbook but it just is not the same as either of the two cheap as chips unbranded ones I had in my stash that I filled and miss. It is not always the case that the better paper is the better paper, sometimes the cheap…

  • Playing in my new space

    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…

  • Unsettled

    Unsettled

    I am not settling in to my temporary art space at all, so I’m giving myself space to just do a sketch in my A5 sketchbook as my daily art until I get into a groove. My lodger lurcher is much more important, especially since he’s a senior boy, and you never know if this…

    Overthinking

    I was really pleased with yesterday’s hare painting, and it gave me lots of ideas, and today I got set up with my timer, which is my new favourite motivator, and then I observed how tight I was. I set up a watercolour block, so better paper than the gessoed cartridge paper that is just…

  • Hare Timing

  • Loose Hare

    Loose Hare

    Painting from my sketches is something I am having fun with just now. It’s a really fun way to loosen up, and find character in drawings, or find a different character from the first drawing. It’s also a really handy practise on those Don’t Know What To Paint days – just grab a sketchbook, and…

    Time is short today, still showed up. Til the morn, Suzanne 116/200

  • Hare Brained

    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…
