It's Been Magic !

Hello and welcome to the last of the marathon postings,

Thank you for following over the last 30 days of small musings and creations.

I will keep posting......but perhaps not every day!

I have a couple of bigger quilt projects to get on with, but I will try to keep up the

momentum with the drawing.

As promised.......The Magician......

He really is saying "l....o...o...k into my e...y...e...s....."

But in quite a friendly sort of way.....

Or maybe not......you decide.

Am I talking to myself again....maybe, but blogging sure helps with motivation :)

Until next time, bye for now, P.

Simples......

Good Evening All,

This post is about good and bad.....

The good was an opportunity to learn from a professional illustrator, Debi Gliori,

whose children's books feature charming animal characters. It's good to hear about

ins and outs of the publishing business, and how the creative process works.

Character drawing exercises

with charcoal and paper cut-outs

"Mirror mirror on the wall"......

The bad......poor organisation (late set up, damp hay-bale seating, inadequate equipment)

Not the tutor's fault. LitFest workshop.....socks up. Expensive.

End of rant.

Anyway......please join me again tomorrow for the final something small for September!

See you then, P.

A Bit More Odd.....

Hello Again,

Just a quick update today.

Totally out of character....I am actually keeping up with the short course "Bottles, Bananas

and Beyond"!

This is the next stage, more weird creatures. A totally different way of approaching things

and really interesting :).

See you tomorrow, P.

Conkers!

Good evening,

Another wet walk......better get used to it......this is it now until next year!

Out of the wind though in Silverdale Glen.

Where I found these....

Ready for a quick watercolour sketch

Slightly different angle. REALLY just a QUICK sketch.....so no masterpiece!

But watercolour is really about constant practice, and obviously I don't :/

Some bits are ok

So I will keep trying.

Back tomorrow, P.

The Great Magician.......

Hello All,   hope you are well.

Illustrated another page in my altered poetry book today......such a great idea!

The best prompt for drawing you could have.

Today's page had a description of the Great Magician, brilliant :)

Can see him straight away

What do you think?

This is just the beginning drawing though, got to get those colours in.

I couldn't stop and have actually finished the double page, but have decided to

save it for the 30th day on Friday.

"Look into my eyes"........

Stick with me until then,

Bye for now, P.
