Orchid plant observed
On the windowledge drawn last night
Orchid plant observational drawing, drawn with a letter ink roller that you normally use to blot out addresses on letters. Then filled in with watercolours.
Dancing button doll
Button Doll, my friend Nicola Hayek makes these and I hung this on our Christmas tree… Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was buttons.
Metallic watercolours and a limited amount of felt pens….
Digital finger painting
Digital drawing in ArtRage oils. Using my finger to draw as I don’t have a stylus on my phone. The colours aren’t bad, but with just four brush tools it can end up a bit streaky. There is a metallic option but I only used it a bit….
Digital drawing
Thought I would do an observational drawing of my walking shoes. I’d been looking for them and when I found them stored in a plastic box they were covered in grey mould! I must have stored them when they were damp last year.
My hubby treated them with dilute bleach and they seem fine now. I’ve been walking in these and some dark red ones with higher ankle sides and whirr fluffy linings. I might draw them next.
I’m doing a series of observational drawings, at least one a day, do this seemed appropriate as I have been walking in them today.
Digital drawing as you can see….
Drawings
A group of us are holding video drawing meetings where we draw each other. Tonight was the first one. Remind me to use pencils next time, the pens I used were a bit harsh…

Through his nightmare.
And then
And then
A single sigh
And peace and calm
Take over again.
Sleep
Rest
Relax…
Morphius returns.
School…
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt. I couldn’t think of anything, until I thought ‘school of fish’, I found this example of a plate with a school of fish from John Lewis so tried to do a watercolour of it x
Morning plants
Morning plants, 6am digital observational drawing of a citrus plant and Christmas cactus. The sun hasn’t risen yet!
#30daysketchbookchallenge (monthly)
February starts with a continuation of the #30daysketchbookchallenge. Instead of a daily challenge we are being asked to do something on a monthly basis. I could have spent far more time on this. The whole month in fact. But I just decided to draw a simple daisy design. Perhaps the centre is reminiscent of a covid19 particle. You decide….
