Today’s fantastic 64 Million Artists prompt is to create a 3d space of your own! I create all my images in a small back bedroom. I have always wanted a shepherds hut converted in to a studio, complete with a wood burning stove. And that is the subject of todays masterpiece. I am going toContinue reading “Crafting My Dream Studio: 3D Collage Art | 64 Million Artists Challenge”

Your earliest memory
Michael Rosen has set today’s Janaury challenge! The 64 Million Artists crew are pulling our the big guns! Michale has asked us to create a poem using sounding words and our earliest memories.

Flavor?
It is safe to say that I am so far off the doodlewash topic prompt today and in quite a mess. I have reviewed the week’s work so far, and I am happily on a journey of discovery with collage and watercolour. One thing I’ve noticed is how different materials can have various effects onContinue reading “Flavor?”
Startle
I was scared to start a month long project based around watercolour, having become very effective with collage techniques. But I am finding a lot of freedom to experiment with watercolour and push the boundaries of what is possible. While Gouache is not strictly watercolour, it is still a water-based medium and allowed by CharlieContinue reading “Startle”
Burst
I want to push the boundaries of what is possible with Watercolour during July. These are not finished pieces but a journey of discovery! I’ve come to love text in images. This is a view of Warwick castle. It’s also a picture of my new toy, a Lyra water soluble graphite stick. In watercolour weContinue reading “Burst”
Morning Regime
This is another idea I am working on to create a finished collage image of some boats I saw at Tresaith, in Wales. I’m using collage papers that I have made by printing on newspaper and then tearing to shape. The boat and block coloured paper are children’s sugar paper which has become a trademarkContinue reading “Morning Regime”
Another week, another round of Doodlewash
Sometimes it’s easier than others with the doodlewash prompts. Clip was the prompt – and this is a bulldog clip. When we used to use paper and store documents you would always grab a Bulldog clip. I wonder how many of todays children would even recognise this item! Everything was paper and notebooks when IContinue reading “Another week, another round of Doodlewash”
Rosebuds
This weeks prompts from Doodlewash, could not be further away from my comfort zone of prompts! I’m not a big flower painter and I envy people who can make flowers look beautiful. I almost tried a botanical watercolour course but level of detail was too much for me to fathom. Botanical painters, who build upContinue reading “Rosebuds”
This little piggy
Covid has been a strange beast. This little piggy has been created using a Covid mask advert! I have been watching the Morning Show on Apple, and I have noticed in other shows, where Covid has crept into the scripts. When I saw the mask advert, I knew I wanted to use it in aContinue reading “This little piggy”
