Had another long day behind a computer and ended up sitting in front of the telly quite late with a cat sleeping on my lap. I haven’t done any drawing so far today so the cat will have to be my model. She likes posing. I have used my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note 8, withContinue reading “Feline Muse”

Badly Drawn Man
I’ve been really busy with computer stuff and family doings today and I had to snatch a few minutes to do today’s sketch just now. I bought ‘Game Of Thrones’ earlier and here’s Husb reading it on the settee. It’s huge. A lot of what artists make isn’t very good, that’s why old canvasses haveContinue reading “Badly Drawn Man”
Tiny Temper
Heard a lot of noise on the roof around 6pm. Sparta Puss was facing off a very large and angry seagull. Husb and I tried to persuade the cat to come down but she was having none of it, so we left them to it. A few minutes later she came storming into the houseContinue reading “Tiny Temper”
Rain, Rest And A Little Darling
Last night was the opening of the Commensalis group show at The Octagon in Fringe Arts Bath. Husb and I went up for the opening night and took in some of the other venues as well – more than 40 shows in 15 venues until June the 8th and all for free! The traffic backContinue reading “Rain, Rest And A Little Darling”
Practice Makes Perfect (Maybe)
I’m having a quick scribble with Husb sat opposite on the settee. I’m using my Samsung Galaxy Tablet Note with the free Markers app. One advantage of doing a digital drawing is that I can save the stages to show how the drawing develops. It’s not a good likeness but daily drawing is about practice,Continue reading “Practice Makes Perfect (Maybe)”
Saucer Eyes
Another day stuck behind a computer, phoning, going to meetings …… it’s a good job that I’ve committed to producing an artblog each day otherwise I’d never get any artwork done! I popped over to The Fox Project again for a look at their photos and came across a little cub with huge saucer eyes.Continue reading “Saucer Eyes”
Monkey Magic
Greetings trained apes. Sparta Puss here. I am now digitised. The idiot she-monkey usually scribbles into a book with sticks with dirt in them but now she’s managed to smear the dirt into the pooter box! It’s Monkey Magic! (One for the baby boomers 😀 ) She says the smeared dirt looks like me. She’sContinue reading “Monkey Magic”
Process, Process, Process
Artists make art, well most of us do anyway. And making art is all about process, starting with a germ of an idea and ending up with something on a wall, or a plinth. And that’s what I’ve been doing for a few days now, as well as fending of a nasty lurgi. I’m planningContinue reading “Process, Process, Process”
Wimp!
I am such a wimp. I have a cold, not even a particularly bad one, but honestly, manflu doesn’t come into it. I hate being ill so much that a weeny little cold is a major cause of angst. I don’t swan around in bed, that’s even worse, but I can’t manage to do muchContinue reading “Wimp!”
Slobbing With Raphael
I’m bone idle and slobbed out in front of the telly with the fab book on Raphael that Husb got me for Xmas. So my daily scribble is a study after a Raphael sketch drawn on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0. I’ve saved the drawing at different stages and made a slideshow so you canContinue reading “Slobbing With Raphael”
