Loch Lee and Figure Study
Today was a long, filling-the-well day. We travelled to Glenesk and walked around 6 miles altogether in fairly hot weather that was forecast as cooler and a chance of rain. We did get some sprinkles of rain, and the clouds came in about, but it was still hot. You may have picked up that I…

Saturday Extremities
Lots of things were done with paint today, but all of them are in that stage where they don’t really look like much, but I did have a go at this pose which is a bit fun. Til the morn, Suzanne 553/600

Sketchbook Plotting
I did not get stuck into the next stage of my textured self-portrait today. I put it up on the easel and moved it off the easel four times. I shuffled through my rack of works-in-progress and sorted them into vague categories. I eventually accepted that I was in procrastination mode, and got stuck into…

Non Day

Reaching
I didn’t have much time today, but I did manage a couple of figure studies. The first is on the right of the spread, and my reference was on my phone, which made it difficult to assess the shadows. I wasn’t trying to stick closely to the reference, anyway, because I wanted to round her…

Forgot How To Draw
I started a new sketchbook today, although there is one spread in there from June, but other than that it hasn’t been touched. It was interesting observing my thought process around a fresh, new book. It’s essentially the same book – an A4 casebound sketchbook. It’s another pretty inexpensive one, although the other one was…

It’s Just Paint
I remember when getting the Tories out meant getting the Tories out. It no longer does. They’re wearing a different coloured ribbon, tho, woop woop. I wrote a long political post, and then condensed it down to the above. There you have it. We aren’t headed in a good direction. Anyway, I got a bit…

Daily Sketch
It will take me a couple of days to get into the swing of having the Murphy dog here, and temporarily rearranging around walks, sniffing expeditions, meals, his old man medication schedule, and of course doggie bosies. The art will fit back in, it just takes a bit of adjustment on my part. I will…

Do you?
Do you name your sketchbooks? I think I am going to think about naming my sketchbooks, especially since I am writing about them, and ‘A5 Seawhite’ is kind of boring. Anyway, I took a day off hares, not least because I had an idea that requires another watercolour block to rotate, and that won’t arrive…

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…
