    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

  • Gelplate Experimenting Watercolour and Ink

    Gelplate Experimenting Watercolour and Ink

    I’ve been playing with adding black ink and watercolour paints on a gelplate and then quickly putting watercolor paper on and off. It’s given me some interesting pieces to work on, and possibly some absolute failures. But that’s what play is all about. Knickers to perfection! (If anyone can let me know how to put…

  • Creating the right ink consistency!

    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

  • 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.

  • Wobbly line art Sunday

    Wobbly line art Sunday

    Let’s have a wobbly line Sunday. It’s fun to let the ink wander. I always think these ones might start swimming around or pulsing life. Ink brush pen and watercolor paints on A4 watercolour paper  Art for sale at Etsy or message me https://squeebcreative.etsy.com

  • 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…

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

    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

    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…

  • When You Go Too Far With Ink?

    When You Go Too Far With Ink?

    Good morning friends! Thought I’d lost this piece when I added the black lines to the side, but the experimenting worked, and after a bit of white pen (I love the Gelly Roll pens so much!) It really worked for me. What do you think? Too heavy on the black ink this time? Ink brush…
