Looking out of the screen, sad eyes, sad mouth. Playing with textures can change how we view an image. Somehow most of the face is similar to the background, but the eyes and mouth are less distorted. But the nose seems to de disappearing…

Drawing with something different
If you want something difficult to draw with try one of those ink rollers that you can cover over your name and address with.
I decided to see how it would handle. The answer? Hard to manipulate. Difficult to draw thin and curved lines.
Anyway, this is a profile portrait of my hubby.
Orme art group
The challenge is to copy a Bonnard painting. I’ve tried to copy this square., number three. I know I’ve made it too wide. My other two squares were painted in watercolour and felt pens, so this time I decided to use metallic coloured pencils. I’m afraid I gave up a bit on the vegiration. Trying to copy something from a photo on your phone while holding a sketchpad and drawing isn’t easy. I changed the colours because the pencils I was using were to pale..
Arthur Berry
I have an Arthur Berry picture of a woman’s head, a pastel drawing. I got it a couple of years ago and I remember him as one of my tutors when I was at college a few decades ago. He was an interesting man, author, artist, playwrite, poet. The potteries Lowry. His technique was unique. Dark pastels and charcoal, depicting the potteries, it’s surroundings, its characters. Laughter and humour is part of it. I love his work.
#MendNotTrend day three
The challenge today was to created a printed, sculptural image. That was hard, I only have a round gold stamp and a black roller printer with letters. I also used a gold pen. This is called Cogs. Tried to get some movement in it!
I’m not really convinced by it, but we are meant to be creating abstracts, so perhaps I was being too literal?
Day 18, #30daysketchbookchallenge
Day 18, reptile. Well I don’t own any, but I remembered having a tortoise when I was little. I have a vague idea of what the shells look like. I added some gold glitter. I have given it some lettuce to eat.
I probably haven’t made it three dimensional enough, but it was starting to look overworked…
Long distance call!
I’ve just spoken to someone I’ve been friends with online for the first time. After fifteen years we just spoke. It was lovely. I am so pleased we could chat. I didn’t realise it was possible.
Maybe it was an inconsequential chat, but I think we both were pleased to
have talked. I introduced my hubby to him. It’s good to have long distance friends. Perhaps I will ring Australia next!
In memoriam
Remember the family, remember their lives
Young people, taken before their time, in their twenties.
Ninteenth century losers in the lottery of life.
How did they die? Illness? Industrial accident? Food poisoning? TB? Who knows, but three people from the same family were lost.
Before antibiotics, before modern medicine. Life is precious. You never know when the grim reaper will strike?
And now? Death rates you would imagine during the black death. Loss of life and illness greater than World Wars. We can only hope that life will continue. But maybe changed? More peaceful, less stressful? We can only wait and see.
Basket
Day 17. Basket with bathroom stuff. A bit wobbly but not too bad, pencils and watercolours. #30daysketchbookchallenge. The prompt was baskets and hampers. I’m in a few challenges now!
