Saturday Storm
Storm Bert upended all the plans for today, and we haven’t departed yet. This meant I had time to put the finishing touches to this one, and although it’s not my thing, I like the end result. Til the morn, Suzanne 280/300

Watercolour and Mood
I was not in the mood today. I didn’t sleep very well, and I am minorly distracted by an upcoming wee trip, and knuckling down to anything wasn’t happening today. I did do a couple of rounds of fixing all the charcoal, pastel and graphite drawings I have done recently. Luckily it was dry outside,…

Big Bear Big Brush
100 Day Project Day 92 I really wanted to nail this today, but I’m stopping to let the paper rest before going in to fix the eye, and finishing up. It’s hilarious to me that I am avoiding like the plague another class piece because it’s watercolour, and yet I’ve dived in with this one…

Unpredictable Misting
100 Day Project Day 76 Things that make my heart sing are myriad, and include drawing a face with a water soluble supply and then spraying with a misting bottle to see what happens. When it’s a supply I haven’t used before, on paper I haven’t used before, the singing goes a bit off the…
