Sketchbook

Plants and portraits. Faces and foliage seem to interest me at the moment.

I wore a vivid orange knitted jumper yesterday which was really fun to draw.

100 Days of Squeezing Art into My Day

These are mostly painted envelopes, which I then draw over with ink, pencil and pastels.

The 100 day project

The project continues. I’m not sure what day we’re on now. Time seems to be accelerating as I get older. I managed a few envelopes and ATCs. I’m currently obsessed with other people’s art, especially portraits.

More envelopes

Some more envelopes for #100daysofenvelopes #100dayproject2024 #100dayproject I missed a few days this week, but I don’t feel guilty. I also missed a few days of learning Russian on Duolingo and broke my streak.

I guess we’ll never know?

National Portrait Gallery

Yesterday, I visited the NPG and felt very inspired. For my #100daysofenvelopes I decided to copy some portraits from Pinterest. It would be a test of my drawing ability and your art history knowledge to identify the originals. My more impressionistic style is partly because I’m trying to be looser, but also because I need new glasses!
