Watercolour Vintage Dolls And Canines

Happy Friday,

Hope you've had a good week.
The Lilla Rogers Bootcamp course restarted this week. Very pleased as it's always inspiring.
The topic this time round is vintage dolls/toys.
I've decided to use a medium that I haven't used before, watercolour.

So far I'm very much enjoying the results and theme.
There's plenty of scope for colour and kitschness, always a good thing.

Cuckoo Clocks at the Bootcamp

Hello,

I'm taking part in the Lilla Rogers Bootcamp course.
After being on the MATS course last year, it was too good an opportunity to turn down.
As well as drawing things that I wouldn't naturally turn too, the support and community from the other students is really the best thing!
So many fabulous artists, it really does give you a kick up the bum (in a good way;)

These are my take on the theme so far.

Cut From The Same Cloth

In between commissions I've been playing with floral patterns and canine/feline line drawings.
Merging the two and erasing things as I go.

These two are 'Cut From The Same Cloth' although one doesn't entirely look pleased about the situation ; )

Doggy With Decor

So it's back to the day job and I'm happy to say it's very nice : )
I had a fabulous Xmas and New Year, but I must admit, I did miss my job!
I feel very fortunate that this is the case, and very thankful.

Here's to 2014 being a super year ahead x x x

Poodle Power and A Boston With Flowers

Hello!
How's your week going? Good I hope.
Just dropping in to send you some Poodle Power and a bit of Boston Love mid week.
Have a fabulous Wednesday x x x

Vintage Finches And A Budgie!

Whilst on the MATS course recently we were instructed to draw birds.

I sent off to get some of the blighters turned into prints.

Yesterday I received them back from the printers and I'm extremely happy with how they have turned out.

I will be adding more to the collection and then they will be available in my Etsy shop.

I also did some more characterised finches, in vintage clothes, hence the 'Vintage Finch' and I'll be showing more of those tomorrow.

Bye for now : ) x x x

 

The Disagreement - Mantelpiece Meet-Up

A disagreement has occurred. And it's happened too many times.

I'm not sure there is any going back from this point on.

Somebody needs to make a decision.
