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!

Circles and circles and circles
All the circles and all the lines. Still missing the Rotring pen but trying to cope without it! I’m still new to circles, I’m wondering if they are telling me to ground myself more. Or maybe I’m just enjoying round things! Watercolour and ink on watercolour paper #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism #modernart #contemporaryart #abstractpainting…

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

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

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

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…

Splosh of colour
Let’s have a big old splosh of colour to go with this big old splosh of summer we are having! #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

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

Army Stencils and Plastic Wrap
I’ve had some metal army stencils for about 15 years and never used them. Today was the day! (Well, yesterday. In the heat they dried super quick!)I’m not sure where to go with them yet, but it will probably involve pens and inks! #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

That’s Not What a Gelplate is For!
A bit of fun with powder watercolor squirted with water on a gelplate and bubble wrap. The watercolour paper had watercolour pencil squares already on it. Plew, that’s a lot of watercolour. The second and third pressings were far more delicate, but of course I didn’t record any of them! #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism…

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.

Experiments with oils, paints, pencils… The kitchen sink…
Bit of WIP using the gelplate, watercolour pencils, powder, oil sticks and bubble wrap. Some interesting colour combos and shapes. Shouldn’t take too long to dry in this weather today! #abstract #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting

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

Mini painting, no swirls here!

Creating the right ink consistency!
WOOOHOOO! I finally made the right white ink consistency to use with the glass ink dip pen. It’s taken a few attempts, but the Kuretake white ink mixed with a bit of water has worked. Happy that I can leave the disposable pens alone now. #kuretake #inkdrawing #inkdip #inklife #abstractart #abstractartist #glasspen

Prepping for more paintings!

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
