Art thread 2021

[Clair De Lune]

A brand new shiny thread to share your drawings, doodles, paintings and art projects of any kind

I couldn't sleep last night so I started drawing for the first time this year. This one sucked me in for an hour or so. May add more if the insomnia fairy visits again.

Great picture to start this years thread. Thanks Clair De Lune

I've been working on a sketch for another woodblock print. A lot more detailed than the last and wondering if I need to stylise it a bit more

Sketch


Bit of photoshopping to try to visualise the print

Donkey up the mountains in Crete. We wouldn't have got up to Zeus' Cave without him (my wife just can't do hills with her asthma!).



I've given away these watercolours now, they were tube/liquid rather than those blocks you normally associate with watercolours. I figure if I get the hard blocks it will force me to actually use water and get that wash effect watercolour is supposed to have.

I added a bit more to this last night. I love the way light burns through it so I'm probably going to put a lamp/lights behind it if I ever put it on display.

I was given some glass paints so I've been playing. I should have started on flat glass tbf cos of course it drips like hell and so the big jar was slow work as I could only work on a small section at a time before letting it dry. However its a great improvement as that lamp was way too bright before, now it emits a pleasant glow. I am also really enjoying it tbf.

I've made a start on carving. I'm trying to keep it to short little bursts as it's very fine detail and takes a lot of concentration. It's also really hard to know how well it's coming out, and will be until first prints are made

 

[Mumbles274]

Carving 'finished' , first few test prints.

It’s come out backwards though

Progress ...it's nice waking up and seeing what if like to add each day. I really like working large scale I've discovered

 

[Clair De Lune]

I think I'm nearly done with this

So beautiful!! And now you can wake up to a summer wildflower meadow everyday

Trying out the colour pencils I got for Xmas, even got some toned paper. But I feel like my hands just want them to be oil pastels... ordered some solvent so will try some more when I get it.
