My contribution to - I'm hoping for textured moss and pebbles. I deliberately pulled the stitches on the pebbles tight, because either the moss will even it all out (or cover it up), or it will give a sort of uneven ground vibe.

I painted a little sunset over lunch.

Actual size of the painting is about one and a half inches tall

Aw, bummer. The festival I was supposed to vend at, tomorrow, has been cancelled, due to weather.

While this DOES mean that I can sleep in, tomorrow, it also means that I now have a bunch of Stuff that I'd very much like to sell, but now have no venue.

I'm hoping to find some local pop-ups in the coming weeks, because I can't! Stop! Arting! and it's really starting to pile up.

Well, at least I didn't haul my canopy out of the basement, yet!

mini paintings I did at the monthly meet up for Artawa.ca this afternoon.
I also dropped off my two 12”x12” ( 30cm x 30cm ) pieces for the Emergence showing happening for the month of June at the Art House Cafe on Somerset.
I will be missing the opening night June 8th, but I hope some folk can attend- and I’ll let folk know when I will pop over in June and invite folk to join me!

I participated in my first First Friday event, and I think it went pretty well!

My spot was under an awning that blocked the sun, on a plaza at the main intersection of the Fountain Square neighborhood.

The crowds were great, the view was great, and I'm going to have to make some more art!

Me: Just a few sketches before I start working on Blender.

Brain: How about an idea that'll take you hours even on the sketch stage?

Me: ... thanks...

(I tolerate it because I need to level up my arting skills, but _dang_ those spirals!)

Bonus art/procrastination for the day. I wouldn't be a comic artist if I can't make a Charles Schulz reference.

Neil Gaiman says "Make good art." I say 'to get to that stage you have to make A Lot of shit art'. Revel in it! Art for the sake of art, _not_ your inner perfectionist! Just lots and lots of art!

So, in this spirit - here's today's batch from me.

For a few weeks I've experienced the irritating phenomenon of only having .7 graphite pencils laying around with only .5 pencil lead refills in my storage. I _remember_ buying .7 refills, and a huge stash of .5 pencils, but they're nowhere to be seen. Nope! Nay! Nada!

Today I got the brilliant idea of rummaging through my handbag.

Tadaa!

.5 mechanical pencil and .7 lead refills secured.

I've been moping over arthritis destabilising my hands* and not drawing much Today I somehow sat down and drew

1. some Gud Art
2. some good art
3. a dragon with cloud allergy (poor thing is a mashup between Chinese, ~western, and drollery dragons)
4. some colourful art.

(*I'm not sure it shows, but I notice when I'm working.)

It irks me that I botched the perspective, but it _is_ supposed to be an improv drawing* so maybe the naïve style saves me? Drawing food without referencing any actual food, and still make it look tasty proved to be more fun than I expected.

(*I'm not sure that's a term, but it's basically draw like a child, with a minimum of sketching.)

I haven't used on paper in a long time. That makes it special. Today is a special day: the last of 2023.

"I should use charcoal pencil today," I told myself.

And thus, I rediscovered my grudge against charcoal for .

I just downloaded Krita...

...because the scan I just made looked to good, and I need a second opinion. I don't know if it's the best app for the job - but if it isn't I have Glimpse, MsPaint, LibreOffice Draw, and CSP to play with.

Hm, for being a traditional artist I have quite a lot of graphics programs...

Have you ever made a rough graphite sketch, thought "That squiggle is clear as a day!", and proceeded to ink? I just did, and no matter how I work around it I. Just. Can't Remember. What. That. Squiggle's. Supposed. To. Be.
