Page After Page
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…

One Man and His Beard
100 Day Project Day 93 Mister Beard is finished. There’s a lot of things I could pick apart, but on the whole I am happy with this. I do not play with my watercolours often enough, so this was good practise. I’m happy with his shiny bald head 😀 Til the morn, Suzanne

Big Bear Big Brush
100 Day Project Day 92 I really wanted to nail this today, but I’m stopping to let the paper rest before going in to fix the eye, and finishing up. It’s hilarious to me that I am avoiding like the plague another class piece because it’s watercolour, and yet I’ve dived in with this one…

Invisible Productivity
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…

Not there yet
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

Poppy red
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…

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…

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…

Three Ways
100 Day Project Day 75 I am three-quarters of the way through this blogging challenge and I am enjoying the fact I have stuck in this far. I am not sure if I want to stick to daily blogging after the hundred days is up, but I’m also seeing the way this has worked to…

Friday Finishing
100 Day Project Day 69 I spent a lot of time this morning avoiding my art room, and avoiding looking at my nearly finished painting. I spent a lot of time doing other things, but thinking about my painting a lot, and overthinking how I was going to finish it. In my head I created…

Scenes
100 Day Project Day 67 I started the day feeling excited about getting stuck into my new painting, but then the socials had me glued to footage of the escaped horses from the Household Cavalry running about London, with the grey (white) one covered in blood. The fact the clock at Westminster (Elizabeth Tower, Big…

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…
