Daily Drawing
When I was drawing this character a spider crawled out from the spiral binding onto the page, and I had to peel myself off the ceiling. I love spiders, but sometimes they test me, lol. Til the morn, Suzanne 132/200

Draw It and Spray It
I hate that in this election I have so little hope, and that my community is under attack, and being used as a political football. I despise liars, and I especially despise sanctimonious, holier than thou, religious ones, especially when their vicious little games are so self-serving. ugh Today started out lovely, but thanks to…

Deer Morning
A morning walk in the cool, dampness with my senior lodger was a lovely way to start a new day. We were surprised by a Roe Deer, who was just as surprised by us, and I knew it would be a better day. The deer was in a place it isn’t supposed to be, as…

Unsettled
I am not settling in to my temporary art space at all, so I’m giving myself space to just do a sketch in my A5 sketchbook as my daily art until I get into a groove. My lodger lurcher is much more important, especially since he’s a senior boy, and you never know if this…

Quick Sketch
Not much time for art today, but I made time for a quick sketch of a Gannet, one of my favourite birds. I’m dog-sitting again, so I have a wee friend for a couple of weeks. Yay! Til the morn, Suzanne 125/200

Overthinking
I was really pleased with yesterday’s hare painting, and it gave me lots of ideas, and today I got set up with my timer, which is my new favourite motivator, and then I observed how tight I was. I set up a watercolour block, so better paper than the gessoed cartridge paper that is just…

Hare Timing
Yesterday I tried setting a timer, and using that to keep me focused on making art and not getting distracted, and it did work, but if I’m being honest with myself, yesterday there was still a lot of faffing. Today I set my timer for one hour, plus five minutes to give myself time to…

Will A Timer Work?
I’ve been thinking about my practise, and imagining the ways I could develop my practise now that I am creating every day, and comfortable with sharing my practise no matter how bad the art is. Side note – I’m getting over thinking about my art in terms of bad art versus good art, because all…

Loose Hare
Painting from my sketches is something I am having fun with just now. It’s a really fun way to loosen up, and find character in drawings, or find a different character from the first drawing. It’s also a really handy practise on those Don’t Know What To Paint days – just grab a sketchbook, and…

Rotating Sketchbooks
I spent the day in several sketchbooks today, rotating as things dried. This is a process I enjoy, and find it results in ideas springing out of nowhere. This happened today, but the first version of the idea required my printer for a part of it, and my printer wasn’t playing. It’s the first time…
