Beard Profile
100 Day Project Day 91 These drawings are both from the same reference, and it’s interesting the way they differ from each other. The first is small, in my A5 sketchbook, drawn using an HB mechanical pencil. The reference photo was in colour on my PC monitor, and quite small. The second drawing is on…

Mixed Day
100 Day Project Day 89 Something I dislike is being interrupted when I am in the middle of something, and this also means that on days like today, where I know there is a delivery due at soime point, and I even know it will be late in the day, I just can’t settle to…

Not Painting That
100 Day Project Day 88 How I have procrastinated about a small watercolour portrait class today…. four pages in my A5 spiralbound sketchbook – two pages of graphite sketching, and two pages of Neocolor IIs sketching… making a mixed media background spread in my little square sketchbook… making another background in my altered book project……

Tuesday Museday
100 Day Project Day 87 We didn’t get to see any more Aurora because the short window there may have been some visible required a lack of cloud, which our postcode could not provide. This is not unusual. I guess you could say that aurora going on behind a blanket of cloud is another pretty…

Sketchbook Sunday
100 Day Project Day 85 We went for another late night wander last night to see if we could see the Northern Lights again, but they weren’t showing themselves, and it started to cloud over. We tried a different spot up the back of the town further away from the lights, which I think would…

Aurora Borealis
100 Day Project Day 84 Not a lot of time to art today because I had a lot of things to do, and I had a late start. I was wandering around the beach until around 2am last night trying to take photos of the Aurora. I didn’t get many decent ones, mostly because night…

The Overton Window Is Broken
100 Day Project Day 81 Someone clearly smashed the Overton Window, because today UK Labour welcomed with fanfares the defection to their party of one of the most unpleasant Tory MPs in Westminster. She’s an anti-abortion, racist, homophobic, transphobic, sex offender defending, survivor attacking horror crank, and UK Labour are happy to have her. In…

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…

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…

Ooooh pretty
100 Day Project Day 74 I am that person that finds it impossible to get anything done if there is something scheduled for later in the day, and that includes a parcel delivery with tracking, so there was very little art being done as my parcel travelled the wilds of Perthshire and Fife to get…

Swatching
100 Day Project Day 73 Today was an important day in the parly. The Safe Access Zones Bill stage 1 debate took place. This bill is designed to create buffer zones around healthcare facilities that prevent those accessing healthcare from intimidation and coercion from religious people who don’t have good boundaries… So I watched the…

Handy
100 Day Project Day 71 I have done something to my shoulder, and I need to practise drawing hands, because you can say so much with them. Til the morn, Suzanne PS not aimed at my beautiful readers 😀
