(Not so) Little Nephew is having a sleepover this evening so I scribbled him as he watched Gogglebox, tucked under a crocheted patchwork blanket made my Mam-inLaw. He’s growing so fast, he’s now taller than me by a good few inches. I’ve been drawing him since he was a baby, it’s nice to have thatContinue reading “Patchwork Blanket”

A Snazzy Eggcup
I have a bit of a thing for eggcups. I buy unusual ones when I can afford to. I don’t collect them as such, I just like having weird eggcups around. I don’t use them either in case I break them. I have some really cheap, expendable ones for my soft-boiled eggs and Marmite soldiers.Continue reading “A Snazzy Eggcup”
Awkward Little Object
So it’s now day 7 of the 40 Day Drawing Challenge organised by Green Olive Press in Morocco and I’m working my way through individual objects to draw still-life studies. Today’s was an awkward little thing, a small marble pestle and mortar that I bought in Pakistan about 3 years ago when I was onContinue reading “Awkward Little Object”
New Old Thing
Day 5 of the 40 Day Drawing Challenge and I scribbled this little ceramic mustard pot that I picked up for a £1 in a second-hand shop earlier this week. I drew this on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet with a basic free app called Markers. I saved the drawing several times as I went alongContinue reading “New Old Thing”
Fruity
Day 3 of the 40 Day Drawing Challenge set by Green Olive Press in Morocco and today I’m going fruity with a ripe pomegranate. I rarely draw still life so I’m using the Challenge to practice, one object at a time and working up to a large composition by the end. I’m taking inspiration from other artists whoContinue reading “Fruity”
A Wonky Stripey Teapot
It’s day 2 of the 40 Day Drawing Challenge set by Green Olive Press in Morocco and I’m taking the opportunity to draw still life. It isn’t my strongest point so I’m using the Challenge to get in some practice. I’m starting off with one object at a time so that hopefully by the end, I will beContinue reading “A Wonky Stripey Teapot”
My Weakest Link
I’m taking part in the 40 Day Drawing Challenge set by Green Olive Press in Morocco – isn’t the Internet a wonderful thing, it’s so easy to send stuff around the world instantly. I decided to take the opportunity to push myself right out of my comfort zone and draw objects. I envy artists whoContinue reading “My Weakest Link”
More Quick Kitty Scribbles……
Still have a rotten cold, sucking on throat sweets and still don’t feel like doing much art so here’s another kitty scribble, done quickly on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet using a free app called Markers. It’s a basic app but that’s what I want, I prefer to focus on doing the drawing ratherContinue reading “More Quick Kitty Scribbles……”
Quick Kitty Scribbles
Just a quick digital scribble of Sparta Puss this evening. I seem to have a cold coming on so all I want to do is curl up in a blanket on the settee and have an early night. This is done in a free app called Markers on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet. Continue reading “Quick Kitty Scribbles”
Surreal Scribbles
Husb and I were just listening to the BBC4 concert of music by Ravi Shankar and Phillip Glass, with the awesome Anoushka Shankar playing. It was sublime. I decided to do a bit of automatic drawing, which the Surrealists did a lot of. I uploaded a photo of a pastel multilayered scribble that I workedContinue reading “Surreal Scribbles”
