It was inevitable with my new editions that a little sketch would arise. New editions I hear you say? Four Chooks - Lotty, Dotty, Bangles and Blousey! They are hilarious in their own right and definitely inspiration for sketches....... So here's the first, Lotty!
Finished! And I'm pleased with this little one.... I think the expression on his face says it all really. Enjoy
If I remember rightly this one was done when I was recovering from first Op. I couldn't sleep and need a distraction, so sat up in the wee small hours of the morning splurging water colours and salt on paper.... it was quite therapeutic at the time, watching the colours run into one another. Although it sounds simple, it's all too easy to get slightly carried away and end up with a muddy pool of mess, so trying to get it to resemble a vase of flowers did take a small amount of skill, Honest!
Its nearly complete, so here's another part to the jigsaw so to speak. This is the 4th item out of 5. No prizes, I'm afraid, for guessing what the final part will be.
Another snippet from a larger drawing that's still being completed.... this is the second & third post from the drawing, so if you look back, you can start to get an idea of whats hanging on the line!
Another gem from the archives - again in watercolour! I'm going away September, retreating for a week of nothing but art and silence. So I may take some watercolours away with me and see what transpires.
I'd love to be able to say I've been travelling the world, to exotic places with sketch book in hand, but I haven't! No, Ive gradually been increasing my hours each week at work, bog standard run of the mill work!. Gradually increasing them post op, but I've found that this has completely wiped me - or as it feels erased me from planet earth for a while! Its getting better all the time, but its left the blog and everything art rather neglected. So here is a long awaited update on the Charity drawing. This picture was taken a few weeks ago so there's even more added to it -
So lets talk drawing! I'm being a total perfectionist on this, to my detriment. Ive actually lost count of the layers on this one, and every time I take a break, stand back to look at my board I find something else to alter! At this rate if I build any more layers in it will be a sculpture!!!!! So I'm giving myself a strict deadline! - :) lol - the most important thing is I'm back in the swing chaps - woo hoo!
