Still working on the fake Hockney I began last Friday with the weekly Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook, led by the artist Ed Sumner. One of my lockdown challenges was to improve my painting skills and I think it’s working. I feel like I’m learning a lot. This is my sixteenth fake andContinue reading “Faking It. Baking It.”

Friday’s Faking Fields
And Friday rolls around again, so quickly, and it’s the the lunchtime Cheese and Wine Painting Club. I set myself some lockdown challenges early in the pandemic and one of them was to improve my painting skills. I found this great painting session on Facebook, where the artist Ed Sumner guides us in painting fromContinue reading “Friday’s Faking Fields”
Carrying On Carrying On
I carried on working on a painting I started a couple of weeks ago, based on a charcoal drawing I did en plein air into my Khadi sketchbook. I am trying to develop a style of my own – I’ve never done much painting and it’s my lockdown challenge. I really like the German Expressionists andContinue reading “Carrying On Carrying On”
Faking Cezanne
Finally finished Friday’s fake. It’s By Cezanne and it’s the Bay of Marseilles. One of my lockdown challenges has been to improve my painting skills. I’m not a motivated painter so I joined an online painting class, Facebook’s Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Friday lunchtimes. This is my fifteenth painting and we usually copyContinue reading “Faking Cezanne”
Faking Friday On Saturday
I didn’t do my usual Faking Friday yesterday because Husb and I were looking after a 2 year old maniac and I was fit for nothing afterwards. So today, I caught up with the Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook, led by artist Ed Sumner and this week we copied a Cezanne. There’s stillContinue reading “Faking Friday On Saturday”
Let’s Get Ready To Crumble!
Had a very domestic day today, first babysitting a family toddler – a small, cute, adorable maniac. Then I made an allotment crumble with Bramley apples, raspberries and wild strawberries. It didn’t last long – when it comes to crumble, Husb takes no prisoners! A Chance To Own One Of My Artworks IContinue reading “Let’s Get Ready To Crumble!”
Marbling With The Surrealists
This is a bit of experimentation I did, marbling some paper with black oil paint floated onto a bowl of water. I dipped a sheet of paper onto the surface of the paint and lifted it off and dried it. Then I used my imagination to see and draw shapes with compressed charcoal –Continue reading “Marbling With The Surrealists”
Carry On Painting….
I’m carrying on today with a painting I started a couple of weeks ago. I left it alone for a while because I wasn’t sure how to develop it so I had a break to look at it with fresh eyes. It’s based on a charcoal drawing I did en plein air into my KhadiContinue reading “Carry On Painting….”
Faking Friday Once Again
It’s Faking Friday again and this week’s subject was Monet’s “Fields In The Spring”. I really enjoyed this one, it’s the third Monet I’ve studied and I’m getting the hang of him. These painting sessions are hosted by The Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook, taught by London-based artist Ed Sumner, and are freeContinue reading “Faking Friday Once Again”
Looking Back (With A Kitten)
Oh the glamour of being an artist. Sorting through my drawers. I decided to spend a bit of time this evening organising my plans chest, which meant rediscovering some of my older work. It was good, remembering how I’d done things a while back. This mixed media piece started as a drawing with a lifeContinue reading “Looking Back (With A Kitten)”
