Just finished two days at Creative Bubble artspace with the 15 Hundred Lives artist collective. We use the space for a couple of days each month, to work together, sprawl all over the walls to do something big, invite other artists to work with us and open the door to the public so they can wander in and see exactly what it is that artists do during the creative process.
Day 1 I spent drawing onto with graphite onto primed canvas rolls, using photographs as my source.
Day 2, I applied colour, System 3 acrylic mixed with some acrylic medium and applied with a large hoghair brush. But now I’m really tired and I’m getting an early night 🙂


Great stuff! Nothing better sometimes than working with others when getting creative. Just realised I even miss art exams back in school when we weren’t allowed to talk for 2 days but you just didn’t feel like it was an assessment. We would just mill around in silence if we needed to get something or just stretch our legs.
Yes, art exams were great. Back in the mists of time for me, though
Aaah best not to dwell too long on those murky mists.. might get lost in them 😉
Looking good Rosie! You do work hard. Regards from your kindred spirit 😉
Thank you, Russell 🙂
How cool. Hey, I mentioned you in a post I did on scribbling (didn’t use your name in vain). Now you’re famous on both sides of the pond 🙂
Thank you, Hansi 🙂
Such a great opportunity to have the space to play with and really spread out!
It’s great
Great idea for a collective and I love the long, thin format of your works. 🙂
Thanks. It’s great working with other artists
Out of curiosity, to what does ’15 hundred lives’ refer?
That’s a good question. I really don’t know. I’m not a founder member:)
