Lunch on Monday

First day back at work after recovery from my recent operation and I decided to treat myself to lunch at Costas.  Also took along my art journal for a quick sketch... It was lovely making art again, I have missed it so much.

Not so good at animated cars, but this one was fun to draw - I tried to make it look as if it was rushing in at speed although I think it just looks like its travelling leisurely downhill.

These little sketches are proving to be quite addictive!

My Hero... well, sort of!

Mixed media - page 4 Journal 2012

So far he has had three different names, so I'm keeping quiet about that right now and allow him to choose his name in his own good time, but he is the hero (sort of) who assists in this exciting new project. I rather like him, even though he is just a little arrogant. :)

Kennard will guide...

So far I am keeping on track but drawing the dog was not the easiest thing to do. I enjoyed the background though.

Enter The Shadow Witch who shows no mercy.

Again this is in mixed media and was lots of fun to create.

Journal 2012

First day of the New Year - Happy New Year Everyone!

This is my first creative project for the New Year - I still cannot believe it is 2012! I have been having fun with mixed media. Using oil pastels and watercolours and ink (of course!).

This is the beginning of my journal and it is to be a special journal (hopefully) as I hope to add to it as often as possible throughout the year.

Experimenting with different mediums has always been a favourite pastime of mine. I enjoyed choosing the colours for this and the process of creating it. It's great fun.
