Wow, that looks great.

I know it's quite a bit more work, but I think it would be worth it. It's a nice drawing.

I just did a sketch from a sunrise pic I took while fishing

 

[Mumbles274]

So I've had in mind to do a painting of fish underwater, a genre piece being that I am a fisherman. Have done a little sketching and today laid down some colour. Will try to remember to post pics as I do it so you can come on the journey with me, even give me feedback as its been a while since I've painted!

Sketch

First colour layer

I had planned to paint it bigger and on canvass but am thinking I might just do this piece on wood and see what else I can do larger at a later date

[Mumbles274]

The Horniman Museum retweeted a sketch I did there, which chuffed me slightly

 

[moon]

Awesome You should tweet it at them, they'll retweet it / put it on their pinterest page and you'll get a warm glow

 

[Mumbles274]

Went to art shop to get some paint brushes today so I can work on painting without resorting to a decorating paint brush and one with hardly any bristles. Accidentally the charcoal and have been distracted by that this evening

 

[Mumbles274]

Still getting distracted with drawing.. Work in progress..

I won £150 worth of vouchers for City Lit so I signed up for an introduction to sculpting with clay short course, was really good

 

[Mumbles274]

Was gonna paint tonight, drank a bit of wine and did fuck all but tit about with charcoal. Nothing but a bit of an abstract waterlily came of it

 

[moon]

I have been embracing the whimsy with this cute girl made from water soluble crayon, acrylics and painted paper cuts
