Feathers, yet another of our challenges.
I’ve not got around to setting up my website/folksy account yet, so can’t give you a link. I’ll pm you later though if you like?
Ive sold lots through my old yard, friends of those, friends of family etc it kind of snowballed
That would be amazing, thank you
Oh I would think so - how pretty would a set of those look in a bright white bedroom?
He's ace and we both love him! He's one of the first things I see in a morning and he sets me up for the day - wonderful
Those are super, I think it's very clever being able to create those - I think maybe because there is no colour as such? So even harder to capture things?
Thanks Trewsers, I find them really difficult because all the shading has to be accomplished by using the pen to create different textures, pencil is easy because you can blend it, add darker tones with a softer pencil and erase on highlights, no such luxury with pen and ink.
One of the things I really love most about creating my art is that it makes other people happy, sorry if that sounds like a cliche but I honestly feel like that.He's ace and we both love him! He's one of the first things I see in a morning and he sets me up for the day - wonderful
This was a college piece for one of my assignments too. We had to use the theme ‘abundance’ I figured what could be more abundant than things you love and feel lucky to own? Well not the pestle and mortar, that was just added to plump out the composition really plus it was quite tricky to get the shape, I like a challenge! But my beautiful knives made by my talented brother, the mohair teddy from my daughter and my ancient oak dressing table are my kind of abundance.
More coursework in coloured pencil.
I’ve forgotten the title of this challenge, I’ve a distant recollection of it being ‘owl’ but I love the colours here, I actually had it made into a printed card which I sent to my brother for his birthday as I knew he’d like it, I selfishly kept the original as I can’t bear to part with it just yet.
What a great piece of work, I love that you had a theme to work with, and so interesting the items you chose
That’s why your artwork is so good - because you do it for such generous and genuine reason.
I am most comfortable with pencil as a medium to be honest, it’s all I ever used in my art lessons at school and back in the day I was quite good, but I’ve learned loads of new techniques in the last year, plus I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone and painted, not just water colour but acrylics and oils too! Have to say I definitely need more practise with the paintsWhat a great piece of work, I love that you had a theme to work with, and so interesting the items you chose
I love your little flower cards. I'll buy them when you have your shop set up!
More coursework, all in watercolour, for the last two we were given a room with a view of the harbour as a guide, the second we got the room and had to decide on our own view outside, we could choose time of day etc, my tutor was totally chuffed I’d done a moonlit scene, the first of his students to do so.
A very quick sketch based on the theme for a challenge of ‘art materials’ I figured your hand is something you use to create art, hence my hand and pencil and yes my hands are that wrinkly
One really rubbish watercolour of my garden, complete with ‘Tiggs’ stalking something in the undergrowth.

I love these! I could imagine wiling away my time sat on that little blue chair staring out at the boats. My idea of heaven! I wish my house looked like that - I love the blue striped rug too.
Ah, but elegant nails I see!View attachment 105836

My interpretation of ‘Machair’ in the outer hebrides. Again in watercolour.
