Cat Among the Pigeons Press

I got around the facial expression issue in this sketch 😅 Day 17 of #the100dayproject2026 pencil & ink drawing of Plum the resident sow at my local city farm. I just love her shape in this study.

Watercolour study of a black berkshire pig in a muddy field

Pig facial expressions are hard! 😅 This became a bit of a mess. Day 15 & 17 of #the100dayproject2026 Watercolour study of Mars the Berkshire boar - also pretty difficult drawing a black pig against a black muddy field - not solved that yet. 😅

Looking up at an overcast sky through the bare branches of winter trees. Very sus, would not recommend.

Day 11 of #The100DayProject is a photo I took on our walk earlier today.

We went off the beaten path and between the ominous sky and the fact we saw two different elevated storm drains I was half expecting an Eldritch horror to jump out at any given moment.

This is an art piece I did today with my students when I was teaching Mindful Intuitive Painting @avenueroadartsschool. I used, watercolour and inks and collage to create this floral painting.

Lol! 😅

Love the perspective

Day 9 of #the100DayProject - today was all about perseverance. The number of times I wanted to scrunch this up and throw it away? So many. But I finished.

This one is all colored pencils, which is probably why it was so frustrating.

Also RIP to that one blue pencil. 😂

Missed 4 days! 😬 Turning up on Day 15 of #the100dayproject with a felt tip pen sketch of Mars the Berkshire boar in a muddy field, at my local city farm, in Stepney Green.

Susannah Clapp · At the British Museum: ‘Hawaii’ Traditional fabrics bring unifying stories. The most distinctive Hawaiian material, kapa or barkcloth, was wonderfully...

‘Think​ of a loincloth as an act of diplomacy: the malo loloa, a long loincloth made of barkcloth, was a metaphor for Hawaii forming alliances.’

Small square with a snowflake-like print in black, that has petals and hearts. The design hangs off the edges in several places. It is painted in spring colors of pink, lime, tangerine, and blue.

"It's under an inch and a half, how long can it take?"
As it turns out, 2.5 hours from design, to carving, to turning the kitchen upside down looking for the stupid stamp pad, to printing and discovering it's still too big, to watercolors. Good thing there was no rush.

Watercolor and colored pencils - a forest path with fireflies

Day 8 of #The100DayProject is actually from yesterday - had to let it totally dry before removing the tape.

It's from a Let's make Art tutorial - I want to practice trees and also darker watercolors.

I went back in with colored pencils, natch.

I’ve been pasting leftover scrap pages (from cutting out petals) into my sketchbook. They provide inviting spaces in which to do some meditative mark making. #Collage #MixedMedia #The100DayProject #MarkMaking

Sketchy painting of stylised coral in oranges and blues

Messing about in my sketch book #coral #printsky

an illustration in a limited colour palette of 2 shades of green, brown, and hot pink with a lightly green/taupe-ish background. The illustration depicts an elf with a medium skin tone, wearing striped shorts, pink shoes, and a backpack, staring up in amazement at giant blooming flowers. The flowers are drawn in an abstracted style but they resemble coneflowers with petals surrounding a spiky middle. There are abstracted smaller flowers and sprouts making up the background of the image, and there is a border depicting budding flowers, leaves, and daisy-like blooms.

Lovely sketch of a lovely singer!

Here is my portrait sketch for today in watercolour- who do you think it is? #The100DayProject

I didn't even notice! I do like this drawing/painting.

A table is set with painting supplies - a cloth bag, a water cup with a bush perched across the top, a closed palette. Against the palette is leaning a small square watercolor of a table with painting supplies - a water cup, an open palette with a rainbow of colors. A pale hand is holding a paintbrush that is painting a purple swish on a small square watercolor.

#the100dayproject day 19, in which I try out water in a piston-filling brush fountain pen. As anticipated, I like it better than the squeezy kind of water brush.

They look so yummy though 😋
