  • Mini old piece of art

    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!

    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…

    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

    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

  • Too hot for ink this weekend?

    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

  • That’s Not What a Gelplate is For!

    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

    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

  • 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…

  • Watercolour Ink Mash Up

    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

    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

  • The start of a new phase of painting style

    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…

    A couple of play pieces where I cut a few paintings into small squares and pasted them back together. I think they’re quite fun. #abstract #abstractart #artist #abstractartist #painting #abstractexpressionism #modernart #contemporaryart #artforsale #abstractpainting #doodleart #arttherapy

  • An older and uglier painting style

    An older and uglier painting style

    An older and slightly more manic painting. There’s something about it I really like, but I have no idea why. It won’t allow me to throw it away! Ink and watercolour powder on watercolour paper A4 #abstract #abstractart #artist #painting #artoftheday#abstractexpressionism #abstractpainting

    A swirly ma doodle -watercolour and ink

    I’ve been working on a few digital font illustrations the last few days, so no real time for the paints. This was a swirly ma doodle from a few weeks ago.

    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

    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

    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…

  • 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……

    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?

    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…
