It's an ugly fish partly submerged under gravel in case you were wondering.

I'll also use this for a fish prompt for Doodlewash.

Upcycling

I asked my daughter if she wanted some out of date rice for the kids for crafts, she didn't so I said I'll see what I could do with it.

I used pudding rice, some old cord and a scrap piece of wood. I glued the pieces on then painted with acrylics. I guess the type of glue and paints aren't suitable for small children.

I've been working on a postcard for the Twitter Art Exhibit. Postcards are sent in from all over the world which are sold and the money raised goes to a good cause. This year it is to benefit the Encephalitis Society.

I did several postcards but didn't like them enough but I've decided on the hare as the painting on that came out the best. I did a little 4"x4"version for a Doodlewash prompt earlier this month.

I painted this version on Bristol board, the painting didn't look good so I did another version on watercolour paper, the painting was still not right. I also did a cat but didn't like it's nose.

Happy Paint Party Friday

I'm not up to date with Doodlewash and I've not done anything recently on my illustration course. I've been babysitting and looking at possible holidays instead.

Falcon - I tried painting directly onto the paper without drawing

Crocus - I did two versions because I didn't like the bud next to the stalk on the one below

Games

I bought some bamboo pens as they were used in the illustration course I am doing. These are the marks I made with the pens while trying them out, they were easier to use than expected. Bought from E-bay for £2.99, there were a lot to choose from but these were the cheapest that I could see, I didn't want to spend much in case I never use them again.

Illustration Course

This time I had to draw a folded cloth using just dots or just cross hatching lines using a dip pen.

I thought the fist dotty one I did looked like a dinosaur. The cloth was folded differently, I don't think it had enough creases in it so I tried again [above]

Happy Paint Party Friday - my work was featured from last week, yeah

I don't know if I wasn't in the right frame of mind but I was disappointed with my efforts for this exercise.
