Watercolour experiment squares
Did it go too far? Should I have left the watercolour squares alone and just enjoyed it as it was? I’m just really glad the teeny masking tape was waterproof! Experiment 1 done. Back to the paints and more squares! I’ve been watching a lot of Star Trek Next Gen recently. I think the colours…

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!

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.

Double Dipped
Shouldn’t have double dipped that one! I visualise lots of white marker pen maybe in its future… Or a bin! Got a few fun arty backgrounds out of today though! #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism #sketchbook

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

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

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

Watercolour Ink Mini Paintings
A collection of mini watercolour and ink pieces from the gelplate pull experiment. With extra pen doodles on top. Going to get some more watercolor paper and scissors out later and have another bash with coloured inks, see if they blend into each other, or just make a brown mess (I’m thinking the latter, but…

The colour brown

Bees!
There was a bee in my room. I think I was subconsciously inspired! #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #gelplate #gelplateprinting #painting #abstractexpressionism #modernart #contemporaryart #abstractpainting #contemporaryartist

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…

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…

Glass ink dip pen!
Finally bought a glass dip pen! I can’t keep using disposable white pens and usually white ink is too thick for reusable pens, so today I’ll be in experimenting mode! #inkdip #glassinkdippen #glasspen #abstractart #lettering

The start of a new phase of painting style
This watercolour and ink painting felt like it was the start of a new phase of ideas that I’ve kept going back to again and again. Thick lines to the sides. I think I’ll experiment with the middle square again, see how it feels on the newer pieces. #abstract #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractpainting #watercolour…

Will this little piece survive?
This little watercolour piece keeps shouting at me to leave it alone. It’s lucky I’ve not had time to pick up the inks today… Let’s see how lucky it gets tomorrow. #abstract #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractpainting #watercolourpainting #watercolourart #arttherapy
