New paintings and regular art updates.

Just a doodled horse using Artrage and photodirector. I do like digital drawing, it’s fun to try and create something new and unique. I’m not sure about the colours, but I guess most horses are brown or black. Anyway it’s fun to sketch.

I will have to get a list of the prompts I’ve missed! Here is an experimental portrait, trying a slightly different technique. Drawn in the ArtRage app. #bandofsketchers prompt was portrait. I wanted it to look more like a drawing than a painting.

I just watched the Great Pottery throwdown filmed at the Gladstone pottery in Stoke on Trent. The contestants were asked to create a matching pair of Gluggle Jugs. The characteristic noise or glug they make is caused by air trapped inside when they are filled with water and the glugs happen when the water is poured out… The creations were wonderful and the head judge Keith Brymer-Jones was overwhelmed with the skill of the contestants.
Here is a paragraph from the Internet about their development, I couldn’t see an author.
Originally known as Glug Glug Jugs, they were first made by Thomas Forester & Son in Staffordshire during the late 1800’s, but it was the adaptations created by the Dartmouth Pottery, designed to look like a fish and aptly named Gurgling Fish Jugs, that are more recognised (and replicated) today.3 Oct 2022
I decided to try and draw one to show what they look like. Artrage app finger painting.
I used this for the prompt ‘new’ on our #bandofsketchers challenge as it is a new series.

#bandofsketchers prompt was crystal. Just did a random sketch of a crystal style lattice. I was using a symmetry tool in my Sketchbook app.

#bandofsketchers prompt was insect a few days ago so I just drew, a beetle. I changed the background layer to crumpled paper which added a lot of texture to this Artrage app digital finger drawing.

Someone bought some metallic paints in to an art group I go to. I could have painted flowers but I did a ginger cat instead. I enjoyed using curving brush strokes. It only took a few minutes to paint but it cheered me up.
I have metallic paints somewhere in the house but I can’t find them. I intend to have a clear out so hopefully they will turn up.

I found some new tools on my sketchbook app so I was playing around with them earlier. Not the most successful scribble but I think I understand it better now? I will try and make something more coherent next time I use it.

This is to a recent prompt for #bandofsketchers. Wine. I need to keep my brain and creativity going so drawing an image seems like the thing to do. This was drawn on the Sketchbook app using a symmetry tool.

I didn’t cry on New Years day.
I didn’t weep at all
I felt sad and tired
But I’d run out of tears today.
Screwed my eyes up…
Nothing came,
No lachrymose rivulets
Running down my cheeks
I drew a doodle
Of a woman crying
That was all I could do.
