Day 3

Day 3 and I decide to sketch our Christmas tree before taking it down.. well technically one of our two trees.

Done in inks with water colour pencils but this time they are supracolor soft from caran d'ache

Days 1 and 2

So my first two paintings for 30 paintings in 30 days.

Both using Inktense pencils playing with how they work, very much sketches to try techniques rather than trying to a finished picture.   I will probably use this to try out all those things I have any never use  I suspect ! Very interested that these specifically mention using as silk paints as well as on paper.

Day 1 -
Mostly done by scribbling on a different piece of paper and  then used like paint.






Day 2 - More along the lines of colour and then wash.

I have decided to restart this blog as we go into 2016 as somewhere to post things I do which aren't directly to do with costumes, most of those will stay on facebook.

I have decided to have a go at 30 paintings in 30 days which my much more talent painter friend Kasia is doing. I am hoping to use to learn watercolours but also to try out some painting and mark making techniques I may be able to use in my costume or jewellery work as well. If nothing else there as some silk painting techniques I want to try out.
