Lurcher Lodger
100 Day Project Day 20 I have a doggie pal lodging for the weekend, which is food for the soul. He’s a bit of an old man, so I will probably be lodged downstairs on the couch keeping him company. That’s what I did this afternoon, and I took a sketchbook and a limited selection…

Not Nice
100 Day Project Day 19 There’s a bit of discourse on the socials about the word nice, and some people are just finding out that being nice isn’t the same thing as being kind, or being good, and that being nice, Nice, is more of a facade that covers a lot of nasty. It’s not…

Circles and Spirals
100 Day Project Day 15 I am obsessing about the sketchbook I decided I really can’t justify buying. I am just writing this here because I think it’s hilarious that I am now even more obsessed with buying the thing than I was before I counted all my sketchbooks, piled them up, and decided adding…

Sketchbook Purchase Averted
100 Day Project Day 14 A new episode of Not A Real Artist, a podcast by Tamara Sagathevan (now Łuć) and Iris Fritschi-Cussens, dropped today. Yay. I love their podcasts, and I quite often put on older episodes in the background while I am creating, because they always spark thoughts, or just give me a…

Sketching With Oils
100 Day Project Day 13 I took a long time to get going with any sort of art today, despite having scribbled a list of things I wanted to get into to have a full-on art day, hopefully without also flooding the bathroom. It’s just the natural dust settling after my two days of creative…

Sketchbook flip-through
100 Day Project Day 10 I did not flood anything today. As far as I know. I did some work on my Self Portrait While Kitchen Ceiling Floods. I had to trick myself into picking up the paint brush by telling myself it was only twenty minutes with one colour, which turned into an hour…

Scent of a Rose finished painting
100 Day Project Day 8 I think I am done with my oil painting. The photo isn’t perfect because some places on the painting are wet, and also we have bright sunshine and this is just a pic for this diary. I don’t paint in oils very often, and I am quite pleased with this,…

Junk Journal Crow 6/100
100 Day Project Day 6 My junk journal is made from actual junk mail, and it is impossible to be precious about anything that is happening inside it. It just begs to be covered in non-dominant handed scribbles, and layers of grungey texture. That’s where I ended up today, after doing some pottering trying to…

Hate It Posting Anyway
Gads, min. I really liked my icy blue experiment yesterday, so today I swapped the raw umber for van dyke brown, and added phthalo blue, and just played with some tints, tones and shades. I used a selfie reference for the initial Stabilo All and water sketch, and then just played fast with the colours…

100 Day Project Day 3
I don’t have much of a problem being creative every day, even when I am procrastinating about finishing something – which I am very much doing right now – I have lots of other things I can pick up and work on, and I work in sketchbooks and journals, so the challenge with this 100…

100 Day Project Day 2
I’ve been listening to podcasts while doing some organising of my art supplies today, and more than one had discussions about social media and perfectionism, and that is one of the reasons I often lose momentum on these art every day type challenges. I’m going to try not to do that this time. So here’s…

100 Day Project 2024 Day 1
Just in at the last minute for Day 1 of the #100dayproject, although this blog is being posted on Day 2, but that’s how I roll. It was after 10pm here when I remembered, so this is a quick sketch using a selfie profile photo for reference. No daylight for taking the pic of the…
