Playing With Marks I Made
Neocolor IIs in my sketchbook, making faces incorporating one of the clusters I made during yesterday’s mark making, and adding to it. Til the morn, Suzanne 167/200

Still Life and Water Mini Drama
I was not in the mood for painting faces when I started painting today, but I had no idea what to paint. I don’t really do this, but I know a lot of artists will just paint their supplies when they are stuck, so I thought I would have a go. Fun fact – you…

Too Hot
It’s too hot in my house, especially upstairs, which makes painting a bit of a chore. I did some sketching, but not as much as I would have liked. Hopefully the weather will break down soon. Here’s one of the sketches, and I like how he turned out. Til the morn, Suzanne 164/200

Revolting
Today I channelled some emotions into painting. Being called revolting by some ludicrous person indulging herself in manufactured outrage over a bit of theatre featuring queer folk needs an outlet. I painted several studies in my sketchbook, and then questioned whether I have reached a comfort zone, and pulled out a canvas for another sketch.…

Five Minute Sketch
We had visitors today, including Murphy the glorious Lurcher. Doggie bosies are the best. I only had five minutes to paint, so naturally I picked a complex pose from my new book. The ups and downs of blind selection, I suppose. I’m going to give this one another go with more time, because it’s an…

Bum Day
My little pot of caput mortuum sketching blend died a death today. (is that a niche joke?) Naturally I have forgotten exactly what I put in the pot, so I searched my blog. Naturally when I wrote about making the mix, all I wrote was ‘mixed with medium’. Ha. Waggled some of my sketchbook pages…

Scream III
Have I told you how much my new workbench has changed things? I am sure that I have, but I will say it again, my new workbench has changed everything. There’s probably a stand-alone story I could write about that particular room, and the crazymaker person who… yes… I’ll spend some time writing that story,…

Sketchbook Skull
Today’s excitement was the arrival of two parcels that are most of the result of birthday spendies. Birthday cash or vouchers to spend on art supplies is never going to get dull. One of the things that arrived is a copy of a book I’ve had on my wishlist for a while – Facial Expressions:…

Still Life Cupcake
Happy Birthday to me 🙂 I hope this still life study of a red velvet cupcake is up to standard because I can’t paint it again because I ate it 🙂 Celebrate yourself. Til the morn, Suzanne 158/200

Old Painting as Reference
I am still processing being woken up at 5am by two baby magpies knocking on my bedroom windowsill. I am convinced they knew exactly what they were doing. They didn’t even bring me treasure, and it is my birthday tomorrow, so something is going wrong somewhere in the great universal order. There is no universal…

Skins and Sketchbooks
I was not in the mood for more screaming today, although that’s not to say there wasn’t internal screaming going on reading the news and propaganda. I shall say this, I do not believe that any group of people is more worthy, or chosen, than any other group of people. My feminism, my smashing of…

One Hundred and Fifty
Day 150 feels like a milestone, and I am thinking about how this daily practise has changed me. I saw a thing the other day online, and I can’t remember where it was, but it was a commentary that said that if you commit to doing art/creativity as a daily practise for X amount of…
