Sketchbook Project week 2

I have to admit I am struggling a little to keep up with producing a drawing every day for a whole month as part of our sketchbook project, but I’m glad we set such a tough challenge. It is a great motivation task!

If you are a creative person I would recommend a similar challenge for yourself… even though it is sometimes a struggle, I have produced a tonne of imagery for my work that I would not normally have created every day.

Here are last weeks drawings:

pen and watercolour daisies

Day 8: Line drawing of daisies with a few watercolour pompoms thrown in.

cottages pen drawing

Day 9: Four sketched cottage studies in my favourite style of drawing: loose, quick and free.

Day 10: I produced a few different studies on this day. You can read my post At the allotment to see them 🙂

plant cells drawing

Day 11: Magnified plant cells using mixed media. Wax resist at the top left is going to be experimented on the ceramic surface. I love circles so this one was a lot of fun!

wild flowers

Day 12: Simple line drawing of wild flowers on grey paper, this was actually an envelope I received in the post – hence the crease! I do love a bit of recycling 🙂

along the canal

canal boat watercolour

Day 13: Lunch along the canal on a muggy summers afternoon, watching the boats drift by…

chickens drawing

Day 14: I had a go at drawing chickens from the same local pub along the canal. These ladies are so full of character, and were a lot of fun to draw.
