I’m not explaining, it’s too complicated. But here are two pictures. Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt ‘sharp shards’ and then digitally edited it to create the second image. I think it coukd be used as a fabric design. I had fun.

Sharp
I have done an abstract using shiny acrylic paint and a pallette knife, then using felt pens to add colour. I’ve called it ‘sharp shards’. Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was sharp.
As usual I’m experimenting with materials and techniques. I love colour and I added splashes of it with bright felt pens I bought lasr week. The acrylic paints are little bottles with glittery and opalescent colours.
Free meal?
A fourth cat is trying to muscle in with my other three cats. We think she’s female and she has spent an hour yowling in the garden. We have two indoor /outdoor cats and one outdoor/indoor cat. Hubby likes the look of her and went out and fed her!
Cats they are cheeky
They know a trick or two
How to get a free meal
And some loving too!
Yowling and purring
Making such a fuss
She will soon be eating
A free meal, will that puss!
Optical illusion
Looking like he’s holding Spode chimney up. My hubby allowed me to get him to hold his hand up as if he was leaning on the chimney and holding it up. It works surprisingly well. I’d seen this optical trick a few times and thought I would try to replicate it.
Dragon sculptures
I’m doing a project about dragons for college and suddenly I keep seeing them. Today there were two dragon sculptures in our local garden centre. It’s like if you own a certain type of car you will see that type everywhere. Own a mini? No doubt you will see them. Just mentioning a type of car and I think it prompts your brain to notice them.
Anyway I think dragons I will be spotting all over the place for the next few days.
Pressure
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was pressure. This is a strange one. Didn’t know what to draw. Decided on finger pressing a plunger…. Maybe a trumpet valve?
Finger painting with artrage oils. I hope it’s recognisable as pressure.
Hubby colouring
He’s enjoying colouring in some pictures, relaxing, his style is abstract. Following the lines or adding extra lines, not using regular colours.
He does it his way, and he gets a lot out of it. Getting that “feeling of flow” people talk about. It’s good seeing him drawing and colouring. There is such a large selection of adult colouring books out there. Worth having a go. I like his use of colours.
Cat
I started digitally drawing and I can’t stop…
I do love cats and this ginger cat doodle cheered me up. I’m still learning how I want to use the various tools. I have to think about opacity when I’m using this app which is called sketcher free. It seems to be about line drawing rather than a more painterly app like ArtRage oils. But that makes this more of a drawing app. Hope you enjoy?
Vegetable landscape
Digital drawing, I saw a celebrity painting challenge and they had a vegetable landscape to draw. I didn’t have my tablet, so this is from memory two days later. Using sketcher free app.
Hidden face
Ignore me
I’m not here
I’m not looking out
Peeping through the plants
A ceramic Puck
Dreaming of Midsummer
Nightingales and poppies
Magnificent oaks
To roam around
And be free…
