Good Afternoon Peeps,
This year I decided to join the 30 DAY SKETCHBOOK CHALLENGE 2020, which is organised and run by MAGENTA SKY PRINTMAKING and this is my DAY 5 piece. The theme today is " GARDEN TOOLS ".

I have use " The Gardener " which is one of my digi images from IKEsART.
I have coloured everything using Promarkers. The only trouble I had was the paper in my sketchbook really soaks the marker ink up and bleeds over the edges, but all in all I rather like the effect :-D

This image in my Shop comes with free planter and you will now get free added garden tools :-D

30 DAY SKETCHBOOK CHALLENGE - DAY 4

Good Afternoon Peeps,
This year I decided to join the 30 DAY SKETCHBOOK CHALLENGE 2020, which is organised and run by MAGENTA SKY PRINTMAKING and this is my DAY 4 piece. The theme today is " TOYS & GAMES".

I have always been scared of using watercolours so I have joined my friend's Classes which start next week to learn shtuff :-D 

For my piece today I got the dreaded watercolours out and had a go - that's the whole point - right ?!  :-D   I must admit I prefer my fine liner sketch but it's only because the watercolouring is so totally alien to me right now :-)
When I paint my Pet Portraits, I use Guache and teeny tiny brushes and virtually paint every hair individually, so I want to try and get a bit ' free ' with the watercolours :-)

30 DAY SKETCHBOOK CHALLENGE - DAY 2

Good morning Peeps,
This year I decided to join the 30 DAY SKETCHBOOK CHALLENGE 2020, which is organised and run by MAGENTA SKY PRINTMAKING and this is my DAY 2 piece. The theme today is " BOTTLES ". Of course, you know me I just had to have a cat on there too :-D

I drew the cat and bottles with a fine ink pen and then used a mix of watercolours and watercolour pencils to colour it.

As I said yesterday, watercolours frighten me to death as I'm not used to them but I am trying to have a play :-D 

I've only just now realized that I forgot to give him any whiskers  hahaha :-D

There we are - he has some whiskers now :-D

30 DAY SKETCHBOOK CHALLENGE - DAY 1

Good morning Peeps and Happy New Year.
This year I decided to join the 30 DAY SKETCHBOOK CHALLENGE 2020, which is organised and run by MAGENTA SKY PRINTMAKING.

This is a new thing for me as I don't do a lot of actual ' off the cuff ' sketching, but this year I would like to branch out into Art Journaling and Mixed Media and schtuff :-D  I signed up for Watercolour classes at our village centre too and that starts again in a couple of weeks. Totally scary for me because watercolours are sooooo different from the Guache that I used and once you put them down, they're down and that's that !!!  Very scary :-D

Anyways, I am blabbing on so here is my piece for DAY 1 -  The theme is " SPOTS & DOTS ". 

I have used my new Memory Keepers Marker Airbrush to make a rainbow background - so there's one lot of dots. Then I 'drew' one of my IKEsART images onto it using small dots with a fine black marker. 

I used to do a lot of this type of thing at art college when I was obsessed with it for a while. You just keep 'dotting' and make them closer together when you want to go darker - just like newspaper pictures used to be.  I guess it's a bit like doing Pixels but this was long before we even knew what pixels were hahaha This piece is obviously a simple version with not a lot of shading :-)

I'm not really bothered about the white corners as I might go back at some point and do a bit of journaling in there :-D
