    No Swirls!

    Bright colours on a dull day

    A big splosh of colour on a very cold and grey day. It’s meant to be getting colder over the week, am I going to go brighter? Get the sunglasses out, I’m going neon!

  • Not Working on One At a Time

    Not Working on One At a Time

    I seem to have started 12 new pieces this weekend. I think it’s because I don’t like wasting paint, so I’ll use up on another piece of paper, then next thing I’ve trapped myself in the corner of the room with wet half fished pieces blocking the way to the door. It’s fun to experiment…

    Red and Black Abstract Painting

    Feeling as if this one might have finished herself, though I may check again later to see. It’s been good to be a bit more spontaneous again. Though hopefully soon I can flick and drip paint with no inhibitions, or carpet to worry about. Ink brush pen and acrylic paints on A4 watercolour paper #abstract…

    That time I grew mould and spores in a Petri dish. I think it looks like a nip too… I am a stock photographer for Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, Alamy and others with over 20000 images. Links are on my profile page! Let me know if you need something specific, I may well have it! #stockphotography…

  • Work in progress! Inks and Acrylics

    Work in progress! Inks and Acrylics

    Some pieces that are work in progress. Acrylic paint and ink, so far. It was great to get a bit messier, though a little resistant as I’m still not in a place of my own yet, and we all know how hard it is to get ink out of the carpet… And off the wall……

  • Rip it up and start again

    Rip it up and start again

    This piece wasn’t working as one, so it was fun to tear it into 4 and experiment with different pieces of it. Trying to explore more muted colours that I don’t usually gravitate to.

    Beginners luck with the Potters Wheel

    Finally after years of watching the Great Pottery Throwdown I went on a throwing pottery lesson. Out of four clumps of clay I managed to throw two, errrr, things? This photo truly shows their best sides. I think I’m addicted. I want to go play with clay again. May have to go down the park…

    I am notoriously bad at self promotion, but I created and illustrated two children’s books! Dinosaurs and eggs seem a bit random, but they’re both pretty funny when you delve in!

    Always feel a bit of satisfaction from reds and yellows, warming colours on an autumn afternoon. I’d love to be sat next to a pub fire right now.

  • Mini Art in Confined Spaces

    Mini Art in Confined Spaces

    Some mini pieces. I don’t have my own space to paint at the moment, so I am very conscious of paint splatters on carpets and walls, so I am working with shapes and being more mindful. It’s actually really good for me as I was a bit too wild. These are acrylic paints and ink…

  • Too Many Tentacles

    I seem to be slightly tentacle obsessed in all areas of my art and cartooning at the moment. I think the swirls soothe my mind! Ink brush pen and watercolour paints on A4 watercolour paper  Art for sale at Etsy https://michellestillarts.etsy.com or, message me

    Woohoo! I’ve finally set up an Etsy shop to sell my art! I say set up, for some reason Etsy decided to permanently suspend my new shop without any reason so that was not a great start! But, finally, if you would like to buy a wonderful piece of vibrant artwork then pop over to…

    Anyone else had a heavy day with the paints and pens?

    Had a bit of a fight with this one today. I was sticking with the nature cell vibe last night, and things were fine. But today… Oh, today, she did not want to play. That’s why it ended up with the black ink on top. I do like the colours though, so it’s not getting…

    Looking at Natures Cells and Making Art

    Thought I’d research more into plant and human cells, maybe a couple of spores, and after an hour or so of doodling with a biro (see photo below) I really ran with the long plant cell structure over a watercolour piece I had. Lots of ink later and I’m really happy I gave it a…

    Procrastination – Buying a Website then Doing Something Else

    I am the worlds worst at procrastination (or is that best?). Meant to be sitting down and reading something of work? Ohh, a squirrel! Meant to be finding artwork to take photos of to add to the website I’ve just bought? Oh, a squirrel! Take photos of said artwork for said site? Oh, I wonder…

    You’re so square!

    Tried to mute some colours, get more natural. Somehow squares ended up being king of the jungle. Derwent Inktense pencils and ink on watercolour paper.
