Art Attack

All the above pictures are really lovely, I really wish I had a talent for drawing, but I never improved past the five year old stage (literally) it is my worst failure, but the thing I loved most at school! Very frustrating!

 

LyndaG....I bet your stick men are as good as mine!!! I can't draw to save my life, Ive never been able to, to be honest it frustrates me, my mum can draw anything, I guess we can't all be good at the same things!
We have some excellent artists on here, well done & thanks for sharing all those great drawings

 

Gave janes suggestion of a bee a go today



I used water soluble pencils, tipex and 0.3 pen

Honestly im chuffed with it. I like it so much its replaced some old art foundation work and made it into one of the frames that line the wall up my stairs.

 

So not a drawing or a painting but my version of a modern art installation



After all what else are you suppose to do with empty coke bottles surely the logical answer is always pour acrylic paint into them and display them on a window sill lol

such a pain to dust tho! so i kind of don't



sketch wise tho im working on a hydrangea. I'm only part of the way through at the moment



Going to be doing a blue flower series that I will be selling to raise money for the charity Invest in ME during may as its ME awareness month/week/day then

im hoping someone will want to buy them. So far i can only think of a blue poppy, glory of the snow, grape hyacinth and forgot me not that are blue so if anyone has any blue plant suggestions that would be amazing!

 

@shiney they are lovely and so delicate looking. Tell her i'm quite jealous as I cant do delicate lol

and i wouldn't expect you to take them off the wall and photography them properly because frankly that is just long

what is the second flower? i know it and the name is somewhere in my head but i cant seem to find it right now

 

I did a morning glory shiney.



And here are the rest of my blue flowers im selling to raise money for invest in me

 

Also done flower post cards for an exhibition



And postcards of llangollen for the exhibition too









Then just finished this birthday card today. Its for a girl who has been in hospital 7 months now with severe ME. She turns 19 this month and her mum has asked people to send in cards so i made this one. Her mum said her fav flower is pink roses so i hope she likes it

 

One I did last week outside an abandoned barn. Reckon I will submit it to that exhibition.....

 

Yep def Jane. That one really speaks to me i like it

 

Thanks Dips. I keep thinking I should add colour to them though. As I think some look rather sparse.

 

Noooo dont i like the sparseness its cold and isolated and quiet and i think thats why it works because it makes it beautiful.

I think anything else would make it overworked

 

Fair enough.

 

my first order in my seren sketches shop has been paid for :-)

it was a custom order for a forget me not drawing



i find forget me nots really hard to draw for some reason

anyway this has just been packaged up and is off to america :-)
