Going with a chemistry-inspired pattern for today's drawing. I also finished a piece on watercolor paper.

Here's an in-progress shot.

Hand drawn generative/procedural art in ink on an open page of my sketchbook. The abstract pattern looks a bit like a chemistry diagram made with fancy beads.

    Playing with another of my new inks my friend brought back from Singapore. Oh! I really love this one! It plays so nicely with the paper and my diluted blue ink.

    Here's an in-progress shot.

      Starting in a new sketchbook today, and playing with two of my new inks. I've used them both in the past few days.

      Here's an in-progress shot, featuring the inks themselves.

        Another one of my lovely new inks. This one looks black when I'm drawing lines with it, but when I let it interact with a diluted ink it reveals its dark mossy green.

          Experimenting with another of my new inks in today's drawing. This one is a lovely dusty mauve.

          You might wonder why I test new inks with my comforting floral pattern. Well, it gives me a really good idea of how the ink will interact with both paper and other inks. And no matter how it interacts, the result will still be beautiful and satisfying for me.

                  Today's prompt is "Flock". I decided to go with a little flock of penguins. If I'd thought of it earlier, I could have drawn a flock of seagulls. But I've been working with penguin art lately, that they're dancing in my brain.

                      Lofthouse Cookies Cool - 4th session

                      In December 2023 I started this piece after finishing a similar version but with warm colour icing. After finishing the cookie on the top I stopped. I pivoted into surrealist drawings. I am still doing surrealism but felt like it was time to go back to this piece.

                      I'm 3 1/2 hours into the drawing... but there's 2.5 years between hours 2.5 and 3.5.

                      Source image is a photo of some delicious cookies my youngest baked.

                      Two green frosted cookies with circular colourful sprinkles.

                        Lofthouse Cookies Cool - 5th session. I'm approximately 4.5 hours into this piece. When I stopped working on this piece in 2023 I felt like it was an impossible task to finish. Now it's not so bad and I'm having fun with it.

                        The two green frosted cookies are drawn now. I've made progress on one of the two blue frosted cookies.

                          I finished the first of the two blue frosted cookies. This puts me at half way through drawing the cookies. The two green ones are done. Now this light blue one. There is another light blue one and two purple ones still to colour. The round colourful sprinkles are the slow part of each of these cookies.

                            I normally work an hour at a time on my art. Those circular sprinkles are a serious eye strain. I can only stand 30 minutes at a go.

                            The blue frosting is on the second cookie and about a third of the circular sprinkles are coloured in on the cookie. I, meanwhile, am now cross-eyed.

                              Mrs Daniels - 21 hours of work (14 hours of painting). Shadow problem addressed (but needs cleaning up). Initial work on the shirt pattern done.

                              Mrs Daniels is now sporting a blue floral print blouse. The colours are pretty flat right now as I was focused more on the pattern and less on highlights, shadows, and folds. This photo was taken under the bright white light I use to paint by.

                                Mrs. Daniels - 22 hours of work (15 hours of painting). The background ... the stuff out the window is done. I've painted the pearlescent green glaze over it. Now to focus on Mrs. Daniels and the TV tray.

                                This one was photographed with the white light still on. The glaze was still wet so the window area looks washed out. You'll notice the blue sky is now a little green. That's intentional to mimic the color shift that comes from looking through tinted glass.

                                This time I photographed with natural light, so sunlight coming in from the window behind me. Before I glazed the background I adjusted the outlines of the birds in the sky to make the blue a little less obvious.

                                  I am at the stage where the work isn't obvious. I glazed another layer of blue onto the skirt and then blended in another layer of shadows in the folds of the skirt. I did similar with her arms and hands. I need to do that to her blouse but I am awaiting a new tube of paint.

                                  Mrs. Daniels with better defined hands and arms and folds to her skirt. Photographed under a white light.

                                    Today I painted Mrs. Daniel's face and another layer of glazing on her floral blouse. I have now officially reached the all details phase. Shot under the white light I use to paint by makes all the colours very saturated.
