Namgyalma Retreat led by Ven Steve Carlier, August 9th – 16th. Namgyalma is one of the three long-life deities and is of the tathagata family of practices. Lama Zopa Rinpoche explains that the Namgyalma practice not only dispels life obstacles; it also purifies negativities and downfalls and protects against birth in the lower realms. Further, Lama Zopa Rinpoche said the practice is a powerful purification and it is especially beneficial for the sick.

After several sketches this is the first I’m happy to share.

Lots to improve but I like it.

This is using markers which I’m learning about.

Thank you ytetic@4bear.com for giving me the go ahead to do some drawing based on your marvellous photos of equally marvellous Dariusz.

Keeping on with . I cropped the pot off because it defied the forces of geometry and my ability. But I quite like the leaves. Learning to think about using the pencil differently.

Wish I could plan better and fit tops of heads and tips of toes on the paper I’m working on. Guess that is what practice is for!

I'm starting to get back into origami more, as I think about the next project.

Sometimes it's just good to make.

This is an octagonal helix made from a piece of craft paper about 2 metres long and 40 cm wide.

It's based on a design from Tomoko Fuse's book, 'Spiral'.

Wet sand rocks! For day 5 of my 7 tutorials commitment to myself I painted along with a lovely On The Beach video by Paul Clark. Improved techniques and pleased with the outcome, feeling better equipped to tackle some more beaches!!

For day 5 of my 7 tutorials commitment to myself I painted along with a lovely On The Beach video by Paul Clark. Loving my wet sand reflections, and these are my best rocks c so far. Struggled to soften the foam on cotton paper though. Improved techniques and pleased with the outcome, feeling better equipped to tackle some more beaches!!

I hate being in front of the camera but I’m trying. Here’s me reading one of my poems, The Old Carriage Clock.

Pretty new to watercolour, following some paint along tutorials. Short on time today so this was a nice easy confidence builder. 60 minutes compressed to 60 seconds
