Squares and Star Trek!
More squares covering my desk! Obsessing over mini pieces again, and having a watercolour flow with Star Trek on in the background. Still not sure I can get through Next Gen before Netflix takes it off in January! #abstractart #abstractpainting #watercolourart #painting If you would like to subscribe to my blog please add your email…

Doodling Saturday
Another doodling day with black ink. Always my go-to when I get a bit stuck with the paints. Yesterday’s painty moment didn’t go as well as hoped, I need to start experimenting with new paper. Can anyone recommend some good mixed media or watercolour paper that can hold a lot of water and inks? If…

Squares of paint
Still being square (ok, rectangle!) it’s a relaxing process, but I’m not sure where to take it once the masking tape is off. They don’t feel finished. Maybe I’ll do a few more and see if any fun ideas pop up! Watercolour paint on watercolour paper. #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #watercolourpainting #sketchbookart

Shout out to orange and grey
I got somewhat stuck on rectangles on Friday! I had not tried the colored square with my usual thick border before. I think I like it, but I think I might need to do many many more! Shout out to orange and grey today, a mighty fine colour combo. Crayola felt pens, ink on watercolour…

A bit of a creative fail
This little piece never quite found its way. It’s in the ‘interesting experiments’ pile now (the bin) Watercolour paint and ink on watercolour paper, tape, more paper and pen. #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #modernart #contemporaryart #abstractpainting #sketchbookart #artexperiments

Prepping the Paint Backgrounds
All the fun prepping the backgrounds! From masking fluid, to vibrant powder paints to peeling off the masking fluids! I’m not sure what the best part is!

The Artwork that Broke the Nib
The artwork that killed the Rotring pen! So many circles, I think the pen nib just had enough and fell out! Or hid. Either way it’s not there anymore!

New Mini Pieces of Art
Some of my mini art pieces I’ve been furiously working on the past week. I feel like I’m nearing a breakthrough on something. Not quite sure what though! Watercolour and acrylic paints with ink and pens on watercolour paper.

Rip and Stick
Some fun with some left over scraps from the last bubble wrap and powder watercolor paint experiment. Rather therapeutic tearing pieces and gluing them to make something possibly a bit more vibrant! One for the scrapbook. #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #abstractpainting #artexperiment #artscrapbook #scrapbook #artoftheday

Reference Wall!
Finally got some blu tack and made a reference wall of my not quite there pieces that have something interesting about them. It’s great to see them all together, so many colours! Pass the shades #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism #modernart

New Ink!
New ink! A big old tub of black sumi ink from Amazon. Stinks like you would not believe, but addictively smooth to use. Addicted to lines again. Thankfully the smell wears off! Keep experimenting! #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism #modernart #contemporaryart #artexperiments #artplay #artofInstagram #abstractpainting #sketchbookart #sketchbook #artexperiment

Little Bits
Finally got the pens out. Seems to have been easier to throw inks and paints around than settle into the teeny bits. Keep experimenting! #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism #modernart #contemporaryart #abstractpainting #sketchbookart #sketchbook #artexperiment

Autumn Leaves and an Art Experiment
I’m not sure if this was a failed experiment or not. The leaves seemed to stick to the masking fluid on some of the pieces, causing the paper to rip… Also I was impatient and didn’t let things dry Leaves, dirt, paint, pastels on masking taped watercolour paper. Keep experimenting! #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism…

Pass the Salt -Art Experiment
Another little experiment. This time using salt, inks and masking tape. Still not sold on the salt idea, maybe I need bigger chunks! Keep experimenting! #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #artplay #abstractpainting #sketchbookart #sketchbook #artexperiment

Ink and Pastel Sketchbook Art Experiment
A little experiment with some felt pen spots previously in my sketchbook, adding soft pastels and then black ink. I’m enjoying the way the pastels repel the ink. After some drying I added pen on the top. I’d like more texture next time I think, maybe using a sponge with the ink? Ideas for tomorrow…

Epsom Salts and Ink
Having a play with some Epsom salts, water and inks to see what happened… Well obviously the salts melted, like they are meant to! But there were some clumps left on this one, so I scraped the chunks off with a knife, which has scuffed the paper. Think I’ll add some lines over the top…

Finding Flow
Some close up sections from a Finding Flow session yesterday run by Lorna McNeill https://www.lornacarmenmcneill.com/. I’ve not had chance to play with inks on a large scale for a long time and now I’ve been ignited, and reunited, with my reds and blacks. These are inks and pastel sticks, something I’ve never tried before. Love…

When time runs away
I can’t seem to get back in the flow with painting, it’s in my mind but I run out of time. I seem to be distracting myself with other cartoon and font projects, so at least it’s still being creative. #abstractart #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #artoftheday #abstractpainting

Swirls keep swirling
Those swirls just keep on swirling #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism #modernart #contemporaryart #artforsale #artoftheday #artofInstagram #abstractpainting

Mini old piece of art
I’ve not had much time for art this week, so I’m sending out an older painting, that I honestly forgot about! I hope I didn’t throw it away, I quite like it! Hopefully I can get back to the pens and paint soon #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism #modernart #contemporaryart #artforsale #artoftheday #artofInstagram #abstractpainting

Line line line line boop
The circles are back! But with added lines and a middle boop.Playing around with stenciled spray ink letters too, but I can’t get them to stand out the way my brain wants them too. I’m sure that will end up involving circles and lines too. #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism #modernart #contemporaryart #artforsale #artoftheday #artofInstagram…

Don’t forget the Rotring!
Little A5 painting from yesterday’s batch. I always seem more in the flow state when I’m working on 3-5 pieces at once. Watercolor paper and powder paints and black ink brush work. And a Rotring pen. No way can I draw teeny lines that straight with a brush! #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism #modernart #contemporaryart…

Once was ok, twice…
Should have stuck with the first attempt I think! Fine line between too little and too much paint coming off the gel pad and the bubble wrap. It dried quite nicely in the end though.#abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism #modernart #contemporaryart #artforsale #artoftheday #abstractpainting

I had two pictures in a row that didn’t quite work, so the best thing for it was to chop them up and see what happened. They got chopped into teenier pieces after the video. And as soon as I took a photo it fell apart. Maybe next time I use hot glue, not double…

Repetitive Ink Lines
Very boring to watch, weirdly fun to do. Really need to find my glasses to see these ink lines though! #abstract #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism #modernart #contemporaryart #artforsale #artoftheday #artofInstagram #abstractpainting #contemporaryartist

Too hot for ink this weekend?
Hoping the ink pens and brushes don’t dry out too quickly the next few days, line obsession at maximum! Some mini WIP paintings. Watercolour paints and inks on watercolour paper. #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism #abstractpainting #watercolourart #arttherapy

Tuesday mini art
A little mini for today. Back on lines instead of swirls. Feel as though this one has a slight Polaroid camera photo look to it.

Watercolour Ink Mash Up
A mini finished piece (are they ever finished?) from the ink/watercolour/gelplate experiment. More a doodle but it’s fun to create. #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism #abstractpainting #watercolourart #arttherapy

Mark Making Play
A few close ups of some mark making play with watercolour powder and black acrylic paint. I didn’t like the full piece, but these close up sections feel like there’s something to work on possibly. #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism #abstractpainting #watercolourart #arttherapy

The colour brown
Reigning in the colours, brown is very underused in my world! Must be getting influenced by all of the dirt I’m digging in the new garden Ink and watercolour paints#abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism #abstractpainting #watercolourart #arttherapy

Gel Plate Disaster
Finally got on the bandwagon and bought a gel plate. I call this one Impatient, because I didn’t wait till it was completely dry, but it was a ton of fun tearing the paper off the back of the paint and crumpling and ripping it. Been an interesting play of a day! #abstractart #artist #abstractartist…

Mini painting, no swirls here!
Not a swirly day. Lines and bubbles. Teeny painting. House move day 1 today! #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism #artofInstagram #abstractpainting #watercolourart #arttherapy

Mini Experimental Art Pieces
Some mini experimental pieces made with watercolour and inks. Trying to explore some different shapes, but keep getting thrown back to the swirls. #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism #artofInstagram #abstractpainting #watercolourart #arttherapy

Brusho Watercolour Paints
I love powder watercolour, you never know what’s going to happen. Even the temperature of the water can change the way the colours react to each other. #abstractart #abstractpainting #artexperiments #watercolourart #brushopaint #art #artist

Wasps and arting
Just a mini art piece in me today. It’s been an odd few days with life choices again, but things are back in place so the wasps buzzing in my head have calmed down a bit now! Can never mix art and wasps. Approx 6cm by 6cm. Watercolour paint and ink #abstract #abstractart #artist #abstractartist…

More time to art!
The more time I’ve had to do art the more time I’ve spent avoiding it! Been obsessed with font design the past week so I’ve been in the iPad doodling. This is an older one. I’m not sure if it’s acrylic or watercolour with ink, but I love the way the colours flow into each…
