    I always have an odd day recalibrating after visitors, even if the main visitor has four legs. A change of routine, even just for three days, takes me a minute to come back from. With that in mind, I’m being kind with myself for not getting much at all done today, other than scrolling in…

    This week’s Let’s Face It class is by Juna Biagioni, and I just adore her. The objective of the lesson was creating a portrait of a figure in motion, and I decided to go my own way with the reference image, and use one I have sketched previously, because I thought the messy, energetic monoprinting…

    Monotype Monday

    Monday is Let’s Face It class day, and this week it’s a Juna Biagioni monoprinting exercise. I love monoprinting, whether it’s gel printing or using other fun techniques, so this is my comfort zone. I’ve chosen an image I’ve sketched from before, and I have the permission of the photographer to use his photo as…

    Organising

    A lot of things were accomplished today that did not involve drawing or painting. A patio area was extended, which sounds a lot more glamorous than simply making a wheelie bin corner a bit more accessible, but it got done. I confess that I did not employ my own patio laying skills of yore, and…

    Today was a play day which involved lots of little creative bits and pieces getting done in five different sketchbooks and journals. 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…

    100 Day Project Day 99 My hands are covered in paint and various mediums, and there are all sorts of art supplies spread out on every available surface, and my paint water jars are disgusting, and I have been working in my sketchbooks for around four hours, maybe more. I did have half an hour…

    No Time Still Arted

    100 Day Project Day 98 A busy day with visitors today, so not much time for art. This is especially challenging when it’s day 98, so to break the streak now would be disappointing. With around twenty minutes for an art session, I grabbed one of my 6×8 watercolour blocks and grabbed supplies at random…

    100 Day Project Day 97 Continuing the Sketchbook Project of finishing my current A5 spiralbound sketchbook the same day I finish the 100 Day Project, I had the target of filling four pages today, and what do I do? Yes, I start flinging wet materials including modelling paste at the first spread, which means waiting…

    100 Day Project Day 86 I read something somewhere recently about ADHDers making to do lists is more to do with the endorphin hit of the doing – list-making – than it is about getting anything on the list done. It was a humour post by an ADHD person, and of course I can’t remember…

    100 Day Project Day 82 She’s getting there. So many layers on this one, which is a lot of fun. She’s still in-betweeny, but hopefully I’ll wrap her up tomorrow. I get so caught up inb layers and then get to a point where I just have to move on. Til the morn, Suzanne

    100 Day Project Day 80 Today I was researching cultural symbols, and discovered that I have the official flower of Palestine growing in my garden. It’s a plant I transported from my previous much more inspiring garden, and I’m so chuffed to discover it has a new layer of meaning to me. It’s flowering just…
