    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…

    Filling Pages

    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…

    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…

    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…

    Unpredictable Misting

    100 Day Project Day 76 Things that make my heart sing are myriad, and include drawing a face with a water soluble supply and then spraying with a misting bottle to see what happens. When it’s a supply I haven’t used before, on paper I haven’t used before, the singing goes a bit off the…

    100 Day Project Day 66 I really enjoyed the way this altered book spread came together. I’m not sure if it is finished, but that is the beauty of sketchbook/altered book/art journal pages, they can always be added to. It’s done for now. Perhaps it was easier to come to that decision because I put…

    Layers

    100 Day Project Day 65 Something I love about doing a layered mixed media piece is the way the end result is never known until you get to it. The process of adding and pushing back, and adding and pushing back, until an area, or the whole painting, is resolved. This painting is an older…
