Day 4, catch-up, jellyfish glass paperweight. Just got ‘handle and hook’ to do now, and then today’s….
I will post them here as I do them. This one was done with Arteza metallic watercolours on an A4 sheet in my cartridge paper sketchbook.

Biscuit
OK, day 3 drawing, my favourite type of biscuit
Tried to do the writing but I need better felt pens to get round the lettering…
I also need fresh pens, a lot of them are drying up. My hubby is using them too so they have done well to keep going.
It’s hard to draw images with lettering, I probably need some making fluid. I’ve never used it. Might get some.
30 day challenge
I’m doing sketches for the #30daysketchbookchallenge now. This was for day two. I decided to do a watercolour sketch to represent one of the old adverts you had in victorian times for old grocery shops.
I used Windsor and Newton Watercolours overlaid with Arteza metallic watercolours to make it more interesting.
On catch up…
On catch up for #30daysketchbookchallenge, the first challenge was buttons.. This took an hour. For day 1, buttons….and a few marbles in this button bowl…
I’m not completely happy with it but decided to limit myself to an hour.. Used pencils, watercolour paint and felt pens. Not sure whether there is a time limit.
Tonights prompt
Tonights tea- a Thai takeaway from Sawadee Thai Taste restaurant in Hill Street, Stoke. My felt pens are running dry. I hope I can get some more. X it was very tasty.
This was our #bandofsketchers prompt. Shop or Takeaway….
Fireworks going off already!
It’s not even eleven thirty and fireworks are going off. I think people can’t wait for the end of the year. I don’t have any pictures of them so here’s a drawing I did a while ago of something vaguely like a firework.
I’ve tried to think of interesting things to post over the year, some poetry, some strange or silly stories, and mainly my Art. This year I haven’t been as inspired, and things have been distracting me. For instance the college course on illustration I’m doing. I hope you have enjoyed my blog, and that I can keep it going in the new year. Keep safe. Stay healthy!
Last #bandofsketchers prompt this year
Time is flying, under five hours to the new year here in the UK. The prompt was resolution and I decided to draw my new watch and some of the zodiacal names. It’s been fun sketching over the last year and we will carry on into 2021…
Monochrome today’s prompt
I almost forgot to post today’s prompt for our #bandofsketchers group. The category was Monochrome. I decided to draw a few Christmas presents in black and white. Is that duochrome?
Anyway I tried to draw the calendar we got for 2021, a cat moneybox, a synthetic pearl necklace with a mother of pearl pendant, and a book on Art and Illustration.
Behind.. Today’s prompt
Black and white and coloured versions. Looking in a little make up mirror at a big painting that I did years ago that is on the wall behind me. Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was ‘behind’. Quite difficult to draw a tiny reflection of a large painting on the wall behind me. A bit cartoon I’m afraid.
Remembering Barndances!
They were a hoot! Loads of people trying to dance square dances, making arches with their arms, swirling in circles round the room. Passing behind a line of people (casting) then dancing up the middle with your partner holding hands and twirling round and round. Crowded round tables around the sides of the room. Alcohol was for sale and they sometimes ran out of drink! I loved trying to capture people’s positions as they danced. In aid of Penkhull Mystery plays. I miss them.
