Table Incoming
I’m so excited 😃 Yesterday I ordered a table that I have been hankering after for ages. I’ve chosen it as my birthday present, and I can’t wait. It’s a workshop table, and it’s going to sort-of replace the one I have that is a bit wobbly. The new one is height-adjustable, has power outlets,…

Keep the hand in
I had a bit of an Artist Date today, and went for a beach walk. I prefer going in the early morning, but today it was lunchtime, and busy. I’ve been doing some miles this week, and just between yesterday and today I’ve walked 11 miles, 35 miles for the week. I wish my weird…

Still Collecting Screams
The first sketch I did today was from a previous sketch of mine. I was testing an Art Graf product, and I remember I really liked it, and yet I haven’t used it much. Note to self. Trying to replicate a complex facial expression with my scratchy shitty brush was a challenge. I wasn’t going…

Collecting Screams
Today I did a lot of tidying in my art spaces, clearing the decks, so to speak. My dogsitting decamp to downstairs left a lot of things lying around mid-flow, and I am not in the same place now, so I reset my space so I can find out where I am. One thing that…

Turquoise Hair
Today I did some practise with gestural figure drawing, and a bit of colour. I like what happened here. Til the morn, Suzanne 145/200

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…

Practise Makes Progress
Today I pulled out my A4 sketchbook and plastered some gesso onto some pages. They probably don’t need the gesso for what I planned to do, but spreading gesso on a page is as much of a ritual and a signal as it is a specific requirement. It tells you something is happening. Even though…

Pushing Back
Today was Day 1 of trying to reset my routine again, after my adorable lodger went home. I am not good at switching routines, so it will take me a few days to get back into the swing of things. This hasn’t been helped by an all day headache, meh. I did get back to…

Mark Making
The house feels empty now my lodger has departed. Humph. I wasn’t feeling arty at all today, but we started returning things to their usual places so that I can jump back in tomorrow with my familiar set up. I did do a bit of mark-making in my Seawhite journal, on a page that already…

Little Weirdos
Last day looking after Murphy today, and he’s going home tomorrow, so normal routines will return soon. Sometimes maintaining a habit is just doing the bare minimum. Til the morn, Suzanne 140/200

Post Election Blues
We got the Tories out. Yay! Labour won, if you don’t look too closely at the details, but we think Starmer is a disaster in waiting. Scotland gave the SNP a bloody nose, that wasn’t unexpected, but was somewhat bloodied than expected. Frustrating and disappointing. Lots of bigots lost seats, but England returned some fash,…

Five Minute Figure
This is a challenging reference, and I’ll probably give it a few more attempts, but this is today’s sketch. Might get some painting done tomorrow. Til the morn, Suzanne 136/200
