Friday Catch Up - 15th May 2026

Doodlewash Art Challenge / Friday Face Off
Cheetah using watercolours and coloured pencils
Leopard - I fully covered the page with doodle type drawings using outline markers, then drew the leopard on top with acrylic painting pens.

I altered two gelli prints in Photoshop with some of my cutter patterns
[the black parts are the stencil patterns I made for the cutting machine]

Photo Challenges
I went away to Scalby, Near Scarborough for four nights with my two sisters so the photos are from there. Unfortunately it was cold and rather wet for a lot of the time but we still enjoyed ourselves.
Notice the church window peeking through the trees. It looked like the graves were making their way down the slope
There are four benches in the photo above although they are hard to see
My sister spotted this house with the outside door upstairs
The seats in the courtyard of the house we were staying in showing the hail stones.
My flowers of the week are the pretty blue Forget Me Not on the graves

That's all for this week. Hope you enjoy next week!

We are back in Beamish for Monday Window and Thursday Doors with this lovely carriage.
There is also a gate below which is hard to see because I decided not to crop the photo with it being such a pretty view.
We are in Durham Botanical Gardens for the Pull up a Seat Photo Challenge.
Seats amongst the cherry blossom.

Besides the blossom above we also have White Bluebells [Alba] for my Flower of the Week

Friday Catch Up - 1st May 2026

Doodlewash Art Challenge / Friday FaceOff
I did my own thing rather than follow the prompts
At first I just used pencil then added coloured pencils. It's unusual for me to do a drawing without pen lines.

This church is now a cafe with outside seating.
The last two were taken through the train window on the way back home
Flower of the Week
There are lots of dandelions around at the moment and I think they are so pretty
