Eight Times One Face
I am a few weeks behind in keeping up with the Let’s Face It classes. This is fine, you buy the course, you have access to the classes for life, but it is nice to get the community feel of the class group. I’m going to jump back in with whatever class lands on Monday,…

Seeing Red Has Value
I’m having a poor mental health day today. I know exactly why that is, and I know that it will pass, it’s just a thing that happens the day before a Thing happens. It’s not hormonal, it’s another Thing. When this happens, everything else is magnified, and it doesn’t take much to set of a…

Clowning Around
Yesterday I read that Meta scraped everyone’s images for their AI enshittification before they offered the opt-out, and the opt-out is only available to folk in the EU. The opt-out doesn’t appear to work for me on Instagram, and given Scotland was dragged out of the EU against our will, I don’t know if it…

Finding the Switch
One of those days where I procrastinated all day about painting, and thinking I was on the verge of breaking my streak… I pulled out my Seawhite sketchbook and did some mark-making across random pages. It’s starting to feel lived-in, and a couple of spreads are starting to look like interesting backgrounds. After that I…

Sketchbook Sunday
Rotating sketchbooks as pages dry is one of my favourite ways of working, although sometimes the day doesn’t seem to have much to show for it. Both my junk journal and my Seawhite A5 are books where I do random layers here and there throughout the book, and at some point a page or spread…

100 Days! Done!
100 Day Project Day 100 I feel like I have accomplished something, but pinning down exactly what that is is a little more difficult. In terms of numbers, I have definitely made art every day for 100 Days, and posted a blog every day for 100 Days, but those are just numbers, and the things…

Things Can Only Get Better
100 Day Project Day 95 I confess I relished the rain as it pished doon on Rishi as he stood at the lectern in Dowing Street trying to big up his shite party while announcing the worst kept secret of the day, that a General Election is called for July 4th. Someone was at the…

From Dust
100 Day Project Day 94 I had this idea that I was going to spend the last ten days of the 100 Day Project focussing on filling the last portion of the sketchbook I have mostly been working in. Almost as soon as I decided that was what I was going to focus on, I…

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…

Blending Skills
100 Day Project Day 90 I can’t believe I’ve made it to Day 90 without missing a day. I was not expecting to get it quite so successfully in the bag. Go me. I randomly picked up my copy of Austin Kleon’s gem of a book, Show Your Work, which I highly recommend. I haven’t…
