    From Dust

    100 Day Project Day 94 I had this idea that I was going to spend the last ten days of the 100 Day Project focussing on filling the last portion of the sketchbook I have mostly been working in. Almost as soon as I decided that was what I was going to focus on, I…

    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…

    100 Day Project Day 90 I can’t believe I’ve made it to Day 90 without missing a day. I was not expecting to get it quite so successfully in the bag. Go me. I randomly picked up my copy of Austin Kleon’s gem of a book, Show Your Work, which I highly recommend. I haven’t…

    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……

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    100 Day Project Day 72 I decided to post this drawing from today, because it’s the one that most closely represents how I feel. A bit discombobulated. It’s a Scotland politics thing. We appear to be off on another journey of battling to prevent the right wing bangers from taking over the government again. Ho…

    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 😀

    Unsettled

    100 Day Project Day 70 Things are not very easy at the moment here in Bizzum Towers. Our government (Scottish) is in the process of collapsing, and a bunch of right wing bangers are eyeing power, and some of them are within the party clinging to power, and some are not. It is very unsettling,…
