Fuzzy trees

Yes I’m playing with images again. This result seems almost like a sepia victorian image. The image is mirrored four times. Streetlights glow orange in the semi darkness. Because the snow had only just fallen all the twigs and branches were covered in a frosting of snow. Like it has been sprinkled from a sugar sifter. Castor sugar, not icing. It also looks like brocade or lacework. The contrasting lights and darks give it an antique feel. It’s surprising what you can make of a tatty photo of a snowy garden.

Colouring book

My hubby has his own unique way of colouring in colouring books. It’s his style, not necessarily keeping in the lines. But he gets a lot of pleasure from it. It calms him down. Makes time fly. There might be more simple ways of doing it, but this is his art. And it helps him to relax. X

Doodles from three years ago…

These were on my memories from three years ago so I thought I would share them. Yet again a combination of doodling and filters. Probably drawn with a stylus. Using Sketch, sketcher free and ArtRage oils. I like drawing faces in profile.

I’ve found I usually draw left facing profiles for faces and animals. In this case I’ve switched a couple of them round to see how it changes the image. Is it something to do with if you are left or right handed? I don’t know.

Waiting

For daffodils

For tulips

For helibores

And hyacynths

Start with snowdrops

And irises.

Crocuses

And primrose.

Pushing up through

Bare. Cold ground

Warmth arrived

Each. Flower head

Brings. Spring

Closer.

Prompt ‘shiny’

Spoon on a chair throw. My version of shiny… My drawing for today’s #bandofsketchers prompt.

Drawn with felt pens and permanent marker pens. Why a spoon? It was an opportunity to draw the bowl of the spoon and the way the reflections curve round it. The handle is a bit wonky, but not bad. Reasonably happy with it.

Pens all over the floor!

What happens when your hubby decides to get an adult colouring book… I don’t mind, but does everything have to get spread over the floor? Also I wish he would get his own. I use these for my art course. I asked him how he thought I would feel if he’d tipped all my oil paints lying all over the floor!

Rocking horse

Digital sketch. Rocking horse. Using a drawing app, then playing with it to try and make it look like a linocut print. I tried changing the background colours and textures to see what it would look like if it were printed on different papers.

Wash your hands

Digital art I did in 2003. It feels very appropriate for the current situation. It’s based on a photocopy of my hand and then I put it through photoshop to add interesting colours and textures. It is called lifeline and it’s on my mantlepiece. I might try and do something else like this….

Pattern of hearts..

Digital drawing, I can’t remember when I did it. I don’t even know what application I used to draw it in. I guess it’s an abstract pattern. It could be used on a scarf or a pillow.

Artrage oils sketch

Another art package I was using a lot last year is ArtRage oils, a free drawing app where the pens in it look like oil paint that can be adjusted to look more or less metallic. The difference with it is the ‘painterly’ effect is more pronounced and more difficult to control. There is not really the precision of other apps but it makes up for it with robust colours. There is a paid for version has more pens and tools, so gives you greater variations and the ability to go to town on interesting images.
