Sunday’s #bandofsketchers prompt was Tiers. Only just drew this. I made a trifle at the weekend to share with my sister who was visiting. Plus it is my birthday today, this is a low sugar version. I realised it has three tiers…
Tiers
Tag: Drawing
Digital drawing
Original pattern from 9 years ago. I’ve just duplicated it to extend the pattern. It was originally drawn on a site called Sketchfu which sadly closed a few years ago. As a pattern lover I liked the simplicity of the site. You could draw a lot of things with a few circular different sized pens.
Must do more
Arnold, sketch from four years ago when I attended the annual urban sketchers meet up that was held in Stoke-on-Trent that year (2019?). Just came up on my Facebook memories. It’s a drawing of the statue of Arnold Bennett which is in our city centre in Hanley.
Weather
The #bandofsketchers prompt today was weather. I want it to rain. I painted silver clouds, then drew over it with felt pen to try and create a bright cloudy looking landscape with rainshowers.
Sound
Tuesdays#bandofsketchers prompt – sound. I went abstract with this, drawn in felt pens then adjusted digitally in photodirector. It represents the cacophony of sound someone with hearing difficulties suffers. Hearing aids boost hearing but also don’t differentiate sounds.
Gaze
Hubby gazing across the canal at Etruria festival today. I should have used two pages to show what he was gazing at! But he moved too much so I just got a quick sketch in…Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was gaze.
Glaze
Thursdays #bandofsketchers prompt was glaze. I had some left over acrylic paint so I sketched out a pot . I painted in this random glaze idea. It’s meant to represent a raku firing.
Car wip
I decided to paint a rusty old car for my final tiny painting. It’s meant to be a morris minor. It’s small matchbox sized and I hope to add some nice details. But after a lot of messing about for other people today I’m a bit tired so I might have a snooze first. This will hopefully count as fine art but it is a sketch or acrylic drawing at present. X
Holding on
Tuesdays #bandofsketchers prompt was hold. So I did digital finger painting! I added clasped hands to an abstract background that I had already drawn in a digital app called sketchbook.
Art
What are you good at?
Paintings on display yesterday.
If I had to say what I was good at number one would be painting and art. Fourth years ago I went to college to do Fine Art, then I recently completed a course in illustration.
Art makes me happy. I love to paint acrylics on canvas and also watercolours. To me art is manipulating liquids or solids on a flat or shaped surfaces. I am good at using paint, pastels, ink, wax, pencils, felt pens. I also enjoy creating images digitally. I’m lucky to have good hand eye coordination. So I can copy most things, I’m also fairly good at creating abstract images. I am very lucky to have art training. There are lots of skills that I have been privileged to learn.
Whatever I do I will always create art. It is part of my DNA I think!
