Art Attack

Oooohh i might have to get some then. I only found out they existed when i was going through dahlias in the RHS to find one i wanted to draw. I just thought it was so pretty and stunning. I def havent captured that with the drawing as im quite heavy handed and the actualy flower is so soft and pretty but i dont do soft in drawings.

 

eeeuuuuggghhhh. Massive off day for the drawing. just really didn't want to do any but here is my geranium psilostemon and i used oil pastels and drawing ink

 

Was asked to make some artwork for collection boxes that will be hung on the back of toilet doors in our wildlife trust visitor centre. Was told "Spend a Penny Donate a Penny" and that's all I had to go on.

 

Oh i like that a lot Jenny it is sweet and humorous

Here is my Day 9 drawing its Clematis Golden Tiara. I used oil pastels and drawing ink again. Struggled with this a lot as my ex was sitting next to me at the time and i realised i don't like drawing when there is an audience



and here is todays drawing which i have just finished. it's a Lewisia cotyledon and i used water soluble pencils and a 0.7 pen

 

A sketch I did today of a customer at work. Not as good as your sketches though dips.

 

Got it wrong

Knew i'd drawn something though

That's gonna be worth millions after you cut your ear off

 

Ah jane thats a brill sketch what are you talking about. Its way better than i could do. I cant draw chairs or people. I have yet to master them

Love them zigs they are well good. My hat goes off to you for using water colour paints. I cant at all they are too delicate for me.

 

Here are the last four days sketches

Crocosmia - water soluble pencils and 0.7 pen



Chinese witch hazel - water soluble pencils and 0.7pen



Rock rose - water soluble pencils, 0.7 pen, tipex and pencil crayons



Tulips - synaeda king, greenland, cummins - watercolour pencils. Tipex and 0.7pen



Half way through the drawing challenge now whoop whoop!

 

I've tried Enamals too, this is an interpretation of the Rollright Stones in Oxfordshire.

 

Love that @Zigs the trees are awesome

I may be having a massive blonde moment but what are enamel paints? Lol

I quite like oils for the texture but it just takes too long to dry

love acrylics because i tend to work quick, messy and heavy handed plus i love using palette knives with those and the texture you can get is amazing

Gouache i like if im taking more time and want to be more delicate but as im not naturally delicate they suit

 

Aww

Modelling paints, come in small tins so you can get a lot of colours

 

Ahhhhhhhhhh i did google and it was coming up with big tins of paint and i was pretty sure you werent using them

Modelling paints make complete sense :-)

 

Here you go

Most proper toy/ modelling shops stock them

That painting was my first attempt

 

Zigs thats an amazing first attempt. Im massively impressed

Yeh i know which paints now. I spent most of uni life in modelling and art shops because of my degree and constantly having to buy the right scaled people for the scale models of my designs

I was just fully having a moment where my brain didnt connect anything lol
