It’s been a busy half term week this week so I haven’t been able to create quite as much as I would have liked, however I did manage to sit and doodle this (mainly watercolour) piece as well as finally finishing one of the pieces I’ve been struggling with for a long time.
This is not one of my favourites and I still think it looks a bit odd but I’d gotten to the point where I was just fed up with looking at it, so I’m calling it done and it’s time to move on!
I’ve also been working on the travelling book with my artist friend across the road, Jan, doing my daily drawing and working on some bits for card making, so I’ve managed to squeeze a bit of creativity in to the spare moments!
I still haven’t finished either of the commissioned pieces and think I will outright refuse to do any in future! I did show my colleague a photo of his work in progress and fortunately he approved, so I will try and get it done now.
I’d also quite like to find a solution with this rather large spiral painting that I began about 3 years ago as I think it has some potential. I tried a few different ways of finishing the outer edges but nothing really felt right. I think I know what I want to do with the central blue spiral so perhaps I’ll start there.
I’d like to do some experimental work in my sketchbook this week alongside getting at least one painting finished. I’m finding it really useful doing the daily drawing in the book my Mum bought me for Christmas and it’s giving me lots of ideas for future paintings so feel like I should invest more in sketchbooks in general.
Cheerio for now 😊
