WILD ABOUT ART: December 2008

http://wildaboutart.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Friday, 26 December 2008. Puppy in pastels - finished. Faber castell pitt pastels. Thursday, 25 December 2008. More on my first pastel attempt, it is progressing quite fast. I like the blendability of pastels but it does mean I have to be very careful where I put my hand! Faber castell pitt pastels. Wednesday, 24 December 2008. Faber castell pitt pastels. Sunday, 14 December 2008. Saturday, 13 December 2008. Today I erased, redid, erased, redid again - and I've still not got it right! Here we are again.

WILD ABOUT ART: May 2010

http://wildaboutart.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Monday, 31 May 2010. This post was meant to be the first stage of Ruby, my sister's cat, but after spending about six hours working and getting increasingly frustrated I have decided to scrap it and begin again on a different support. Giving myself a break before restarting I have finished off the little parrot from my last workshop. He is in Derwent Coloursoft pencils, 6.5" x 9" on cream mountboard. Wednesday, 19 May 2010. This is in Derwent Coloursoft pencils on mountboard. Saturday, 15 May 2010. Well,...

WILD ABOUT ART: Snow Leopard progress

http://wildaboutart.blogspot.com/2010/07/snow-leopard-progress.html

Saturday, 17 July 2010. I'm happy with the way this picture is progressing - at the moment anyway! Today I've added some basic shading for his fur and done more work on his mouth, teeth and muzzle. I would have got more done, but had unexpected visitors. Probably a good thing, making me put it to one side and give some thought to the next stage, instead of rushing it, which is what usually happens. Faber castell pitt pastels.

WILD ABOUT ART: January 2008

http://wildaboutart.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 29 January 2008. I have been doing a fair amount of bird watching recently both in the garden for birdwatch weekend and elsewhere. After the disappointment of putting feeders up in the garden last year and not getting any birds I bought another multi feeder and sited it in a different place and quickly the birds have started coming, with more arriving everyday! Friday, 18 January 2008. A little more drawing. Tuesday, 8 January 2008. A little work on my robin. Sunday, 6 January 2008. Lower test n...

WILD ABOUT ART: Cat ATC

http://wildaboutart.blogspot.com/2010/08/cat-atc.html

Wednesday, 25 August 2010. My cat ATC finished. 'Rigsby' is for a private trade with a fellow artist and Flickr friend who is doing me a barn owl based on Soren, one of the owls in the Ga'hoole fantasy series. I've actually seen my barn owl already - he is beautiful and I will be delighted to have him as my first ATC. Rigsby is on Clairefontaine Pastelmat in Faber Castell Polychromos and Prismacolors, 2.5"x3.5". Labels: artists trading card. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Art with a Pencil.

Downland Views: October 2012

http://downlandviews.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Musings of life in an area of chalk downland with its abundance of wildlife but only a few miles from London. Sunday, 14 October 2012. I always find Autumn to be a peaceful time. There is a sense of things settling down for a well earned rest and, to be honest, I would like to join them as I feel tired. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Biggin Hill, United Kingdom.

Downland Views: December 2013

http://downlandviews.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Musings of life in an area of chalk downland with its abundance of wildlife but only a few miles from London. Sunday, 8 December 2013. Last Post (for a while). I have legitimately been able to forget the housework and go off exploring the countryside as the doctor said walking would strengthen my knee and help with its recovery following the op. It has worked.I am now pain free! I have also visited the various parts of Saltbox S.S.S.I. The area we overlook from our bungalow is very disapp...As did the As...

Cold Wet Nose and Floppy Ears: I've been everso naughty haven't I?

http://emma-the-dog.blogspot.com/2007/06/ive-been-everso-naughty-havent-i.html

Cold Wet Nose and Floppy Ears. Wednesday, 27 June 2007. I've been everso naughty haven't I? Well, it's been very strange but we haven't been to see my mummy's friend for over aweek now and she hasn't been here either. I don't know what's going on, but things were looking up a bit today, because I met another nice new dog, his name is Tim, and guess what? Oh no, they've all gone! The camera loves you. 27 June 2007 at 21:29. 27 June 2007 at 21:46. There's some attractive eyes. The canine Audrey Hepburn.

Downland Views: I Blame the Weather

http://downlandviews.blogspot.com/2013/08/i-blame-weather.html

Musings of life in an area of chalk downland with its abundance of wildlife but only a few miles from London. Sunday, 4 August 2013. I Blame the Weather. Thankfully when we took my mother to visit a Lavender farm that is not too far away there were plenty of bees (although hardly any honey bees). I therefore decided that this year I would brush cut and rake the area of the field directly behind us before these plants went to seed. Here is a picture showing Superman Sean shearing a shaggy sheep in shimmer...
