Having some fun stapling some small pieces together to make something entertaining

#abstractart #artist #abstractpainting #artpractise

Having a bit of a square graphic novel style painting this week. Watercolour and ink on watercolour paper. Feel a bit too neat for me truth be told! 😂

Also I have a daily visitor to the 'office', Handsome Jim. I don't know where it comes from, also there is a possibility it's a girl. Likes cheese Dreamies, tummy strokes and sitting on damp ink.

Been creating some larger abstract shaped pieces from my mini watercolour and ink paintings. I feel that using staples to hold them together is an ode to my dad who used to be a metal engineer. I used to work with him sometimes, so think of ways to add metal to work.

Waiting for paint to dry on the canvases! Back to the old faithful watercolours and inks!

Back to canvas, and brewing up a new idea. It's been about 20 years since I've had room to play on this scale. Quite excited, still using very shitty paints that I'm sure will frustrate the life out of me after a while.

Still obsessing over little squares...

#artist #artlife #painting #abstractart

Some playtime masking up, letting loose with watercolours and pen and then cutting up the squares. I'm now sat here cutting them up into smaller squares. Keep playing!

Some little 4cm by 4cm play pieces of watercolour paint, ink and pastel on watercolour paper. Think I had planets on my mind,

Little piece, many lines

Bit of an 80s inspired piece using watercolour, pastels and pen on watercolour paper. About time I softened up on the black ink for a while.

Something more suitable to match the weather. Inks and masking tape on watercolor paper. What a grumpy day already. Must get a new brolly so I can go out.

Well, that was an afternoon of obsessional 'squaring'. If the table wasn't so chaotic to start with I might have been able to do a few more! 😂 Looking forward to getting the inks out soon to play over the top.

Thank you! I often feel a bit wonky 😂❤️

A little practice idea, felt pens and ink on watercolour paper. I do enjoy using Crayola felt pens and crayons, feels like I have more permission to just play instead of worrying about wasting expensive art products.

An interesting experiment with inks and cling film has given a shiny texture effect on the watercolour paper. Almost looks like stained glass. I see many more experiments with this idea. I might even remember to video it!

Little finished piece on top of many unfinished ones! Anyone else work on 4,5 or 10 pieces at the same time?

#abstractart #abstractartist #painting #artist #artlife

A little piece I think is finished now. Watercolour paint, ink and marker pens on watercolour paper. I love seeing how much I can throw on one tiny piece before I lose the balance in it.

Some 9cm by 9cm approx watercolour and ink pieces from today. Not sure if watching The World's Strongest Man was an influence or not? I can only hope. Strong lines maybe?

A bit of colour for a dark and very wet day. I'm almost looking forward to summer!

A bit of a peeling and cutting day. The rain has given a blue vibe to mood and ideas.

#artprep #artpractise #artistlife

A new style from a very old style, seems that I'm going around in very big circles, or squares, or... Lines? 😂

A selection of squares from the few hundred I ended up with. Some have ink on them now, none of them are quite right...

Oh wow, I've never heard of that before. I'm totally going to try that over the festive period! Thanks ❤️

More squares covering my desk! Obsessing over mini pieces again, and having a watercolour flow with Star Trek on in the background. Still not sure I can get through Next Gen before Netflix takes it off in January!

Another doodling day with black ink. Always my go-to when I get a bit stuck with the paints. I need to start experimenting with new paper. Can anyone recommend some good mixed media or watercolour paper that can hold a lot of water and inks?
