New paintings and regular art updates.
2014 drawing, we used to go to the pub and watch the Boatband playing cajun and folk music. Sometimes I would get up and sing a song a cappela, I like “Summer time” from the musical “Porgy and Bess”. I never remembered to learn new songs, life was too busy then. Now I long to time travel back to those days. I’d give anything to be back then sitting listening to the fiddle, guitar and accordion while beautiful music scurled around us.
I went to my art group for mental wellbeing this morning and decided on the way home because the weather is sunny and burning hot. So I went shopping to save having to go out again later. While I was in the supermarket I treated myself to a chocolate frappachino? Is that what it’s called (milkshake) it was so cold I got real brain freeze! (drawn in Artrage app).
It’s about 30°C outside and I was in the car which was incredibly hot. No air conditioner so I had the windows wide open. I was so tired and overheated when I got home I’ve just come in and kicked my shoes off. Now for a rest!
#bandofsketchers prompt was flag, just experimenting with digital textures. I used Artrage for this with a slight metallic tinge. It’s not very exciting but I’m trying to drag myself back into doing art.
Black and white tree doodle I did a few weeks ago. I really want to go back to drawing #bandofsketchers prompts but life’s been a bit up and down lately. Black and white was today’s prompt.
You’ve got to sketch them
Black and white cats
They gang up on you
And beg to be represented.
Make us handsome and beautiful
They miaow at me.
So I scribble a sketch.
Thank you they say.
That’ll do!
Taking a petal from my flower photos earlier. I decided to use my sketchbook app to try and create a floral pattern. The symmetry tool was used to create a nine sectioned flower. Then I coloured it in with symmetry and non symmetry. Finally I put this through a scenery filter in my Photodirector app. Not AI but definitely digital.
Imagined view, I think I need to have a look at some real clouds. I’m not sure if I’m going to call this finished. Acrylic on canvas. I just wanted to paint something calm and peaceful so I created this sketch view X
A really old painting I did from when we visited a BCB exhibition at Spode I think. I really liked this watercolour so I thought I’d share it. This was my selection for today’s #bandofsketchers prompt “pots”.
One of my old digital drawings I did a few years ago on a website called sketchfu that has sadly closed. Each week we were set a challenge to draw from a photo. I got quite good at it even though there were only a few tools on the site. I’d like to know what pottery the set was made at. I think it looks quite neat.
List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain.
I know that apples fall down off trees.
I know cats are devious creatures!
I know bats don’t always live in belfry.
I know cheese can be put in a curry.
I know time seems to move forwards.
I know there are no Elephants on Mars.
I know Wales is different to whales.
I know that salt does not taste like sugar.
I know I like to watch the sky at night.
I know I don’t know about a lot of things!
I wanted to create a list that wasn’t contentious, that could almost be a poem, that I didn’t have to type out my working out, and I hope people will find humerous.
