We’re Gonna Need a Bigger…
I have gone big. Properly big. I’ve had the A1 paper for a while, but never got around to getting a big board. Until today. As soon as it arrived I abandoned the sketches in my A4 book, grabbed a 3″ brush, and tried painting a giant hare. It’s not the best hare I’ve ever…

Just Paint
Yesterday’s post was ringing in my brain today, and I put a large-ish canvas up on the easel and just started playing. There was some sort of sketch on the canvas, but it wasn’t worth preserving, so I mixed some paint and smeared a ground on, and from there things got a bit interesting. Hares…

Hare On Canvas WIP
(I’m playing around with the theme settings, but I’m not settled on which change I want to make, or if I want to make a change at all. It has all gone a bit purple.) I did a fair bit of procrastinating and painting other things, backgrounds, before I got stuck in with this. I…

Most of today’s output was canvas prep and backgrounds, but I decided at the last minute to use the small canvas board I was using yesterday for testing ideas, and stick a hare on it. I say stick a hare on it, I sketched it on and then dislodged most of it off with the…

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
Yesterday I tried setting a timer, and using that to keep me focused on making art and not getting distracted, and it did work, but if I’m being honest with myself, yesterday there was still a lot of faffing. Today I set my timer for one hour, plus five minutes to give myself time to…

Will A Timer Work?
I’ve been thinking about my practise, and imagining the ways I could develop my practise now that I am creating every day, and comfortable with sharing my practise no matter how bad the art is. Side note – I’m getting over thinking about my art in terms of bad art versus good art, because all…

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…
