A teeny-tiny fussy little drawing at just 15cm x 15cm. It’s worked in black fine line pen, Zig Art and Graphic Twins with water wash provide the colours and iridescent gold water colour paint provides the highlights.
Just the thing to keep my slightly busy now I’m feeling on the mend.
It’s really raining heavily here at the moment. I love the sound of the rain, and the wind, while I’m cwtched up warmly at home. I went out around 8am to do my food shopping and was pleasantly surprised. I expected people to be at the local Tesco’s in their droves, but it was really quite quiet. Hurrah to that is all I can say! For a change, the process of shopping close to the bank holidays was relatively painless.
I finished the small piece of artwork above not long ago. It is just the thing to brighten up the gloomy day. It’s 17cm x 11cm and is worked in various media on white cartridge paper. There’s metallic gold on various parts, but it hasn’t shown up in the scanning.
I’m now officially way past bone tired and I suspect that after having another mug of tea and a bite to eat I may go and join the cat in bed.
Oh the joys of being on the winter break!
4″x8″ in size. Black Rotring pens, Derwent Inktense pencils with water wash and metallic gold watercolour paint on cold pressed watercolour paper.
This was completed while taking a break from reading/researching/note-taking/getting my head around the 2000 word essay I need to write for my hypnotherapist training course by next Saturday. I also need to transcribe my progressive muscle relaxation scripts too… as well as organise the people who’ve volunteered to be my guinea pigs during my training so that I can get some hours of practice logged.
The break was needed; as fascinating as the reading material is, as engrossed in it as I was, my brain was full, I’m still finding myself very tired after the tonsillitis this week and the upset tummy that I’ve had the last couple of days too. I will be retiring to bed as soon as I’ve finished wittering here!
Approx. 26cm x 19cm.
Black technical drawing pens, Inktense pencils with water wash, metallic gold watercolour paint and gold Uniball pen.
This has kept me busy the last four days while I’ve been off work with tonsillitis.
Lots of gold on this one, not that the scan shows it up well, but it works out nicely, I think, if a tad fussy and ornately.
Approx. 15cm x 15cm
Technical drawing pen, Zig Art and Graphic pens with water wash, and Liquitex Gold Acrylic paint. Oh, and a few bits of white Sakura Gelly Roll.
Just trying something different, kind of. the patterns were inspired by photographs of microscopic images of cells. The gold outer with the patterns extended to give a square around the circle seemed the right thing to do.
Prehistoric fertility 2 finished and renamed!
I really need to learn how to take photographs! This is a dreadful picture of this textile work.
It’s framed and renamed to be entered into a local art competition – Aber Valley Arts – along with two other pieces of my artwork, but I don’t know which two yet. I have to choose then write some gumpf to go with them. I’ll be asking my pal, the head of art at work, to help me choose the others.
So, it’s been a busy morning here measuring and cutting daler-board to mount the various art works (seven in total, phew!) and calculating any aperatures that need to be cut.
Time for a ginormous mug of tea!
