    Hmm, a convergence of fives 😀 Today’s art was just as scarce as my previous two, except the one doodle I managed to start and poke at for the previous two days has now been completed. Wind, pen on fineliner paper, approx. 200 x 100 mm. Back in 2006, Hubby and I went on the…

    Okay, I blew it today. Busy all day, visitors, a trip to the doc’s for Izzy (she’s fine), and I traded my last little bit of doodle time for a shower. I did start a doodle, but barely had time to do anything and I’m exhausted. So no art today 🙁 So, why am I…

    Saturday I felt like doodling and since the Drawing Lab Challenge I had missed involved doing exactly that, I did some. I grabbed my oil pastels, a piece of watercolour paper and just drew some swirls. No plan, no design beyond the idea that I’d like to play with some graduated colour (I followed the…

    It’s been one of those weeks for me. Being sick and stuck at home has not been conducive to art work. So my entry for this week is rather poor and was thrown together on a vague idea in this last hour or so between hanging out the washing and mum duties. I type this…

    Liz

    I’ve always loved drawing eyes. There is something about them. Their shape, shadow, the soul staring out at you from the paper. I’ve really practised drawing them over the years as they are my favourite part of portraiture. I know how important it is to put the shadow and highlights in just the right place…

    Our first week  and our first exercise. How did everyone do? I know my biggest challenge was actually getting anything done. There was no bed in my catdom, but there was kitchen table, couch, and coffee table. I was going to post this post last night, but decided to leave it to Friday night (I’m…
