76 - a design/pattern amongst the lines


75 - An area filled with horseshoes


Horseshoes all over the place

74- a liner drawing of a pencil

It's a pencil drawn with a pen

73 a Tonal drawing


task 72 -7 to -10 minutes on a 'blind drawing'

I was thinking of taking the full  time but didn't  - feel that this (very) quick line captures something of the figure.

I like the fact that in the photo the right hand does come out (like hands in The Supper at Emmaus' by Caravaggio ) and would like to try and do something more on this as a longer work

71 Experiment with using wax crayons

You could try using them as you would a pencil, and on their side



I had to cheat - started wanting to go with crayons but only have four so used  'Bright Ideas' Double Ended' Colored Brush Pens.

70 what relaxes me - and Had a go at a person at Tate Modern (picture)


Activity 70 and ..

Interesting to consider:

'What Activities make you feel relaxed 
Draw or write them here.

1) Well a decent cup of coffee and something like a chocolate brownie (or a mince pie in the right season).

2) A warm bath with something good on the radio.

3) Allotment stuff, a bonfire or perhaps Cutting back.

Even a visit to Tate Modern (when it was open) .. like below where Warhol was on and being photographed

In space


and me in space

61 - figures (1,2 and 3)


60 - A few birds





59 - it's me but not two handed

I used Acrylic paint - and here it seemed that mixing leads to 'muddy' colours - will try water colours rtoo




And here are some watercolours
