Yellow Rose

The next 5 pictures were done using a technique called 'blind continuous line drawing'.  This is where the artist uses one continuous line (not lifting the pen off the paper until finished) and cannot see what he/she is drawing but only observing the object.  It is really good fun and I am always surprised by the results.  I added a little colour to them, just to make them a little more interesting to the eye.

The Postcard Series

The start of a new series of daily paintings.

It's good to be painting again after such a long break.  This series are postcard size and so will all be the same size, however, I am not putting a time constraint on them as some are more intricate than others. 

This series came from the idea I begun in the Summer of 2009.  I started a couple of little paintings similar to this using watercolour/pen/inks etc and decided that they would be the next 30 in 30.  Many of them will probably be of places/areas in Mallorca we will have to wait and see.

I was going to do another spiritual figure today, but it was all a bit of a strain! so here is my son drawing on his bed. He has to do a drawing every time I do one!

Well I am gradually catching up, after missing a week due to illness, & only have 4 more to do, so then the 30 drawings will be a completed set. What to do next? not sure yet, possibly back to acrylics but perhaps some larger pieces on board, I love to work in acrylic, it's my favourite medium at the moment so I want to get back to that, although I have really enjoyed using pastels etc for this group. I have some ideas for several larger pieces of work, so it maybe that I just do a piece a week or every few days rather than posting one every day! we shall see... Anyway I still have a few more of these to do. I hope you are all enjoying them. Ciao.x

Didn't make a picture yesterday - I don't know what happened to the time! Nevermind, here is one & hopefully I will get another done later today to make up for not doing one yesterday!

If in doubt draw fruit or flowers. That's my motto for the day!

What a day! Certainly was not in the mood to draw, paint or anything, but finally I decided that I MUST do a piece & keep up the project. I did this one this evening so it is late going onto the site - sorry for anyone tuning in & missing it - but it is finally here. I was bought some wonderful Pinks yesterday & thought I should draw them - or a couple anyway.
