So it has been slow progress this term with many wrong turns. I feel now that I have made my fourth dummy book, I am slowly going forwards. 

Battled with a dip pen and lost, decided to use watercolours instead.

First attempt at mono printing

I have no idea how to clean a roller, washing up liquid did not cut it. I have ended up with a house full of black rags......maybe I need white spirit!

New term.....sequential image ( aka made up stuff in a specific order)

So I haven't posted anything in a looooooonnnnngggggg time. I feel in this case that I can truly blame it on the weather. Bugs caused by the damp weather has caused my house to cease production as I have been up again and again at night with sickly children. Anyway, the kids are now occasionally back in school and hopefully I may get to do the occasional scribble. Fingers crossed.

Today I got up at 5 to go drawing. I am not as pleased with today's efforts but here they are. Hannah my tutor suggested some night drawing and hence the early morning start. However the light didn't pick up much as it is raining and grey grey grey grey. I then sat in the car with the radio on and now my battery is flat. Had to walk home in the rain. I am now deflated and am going to get on with the essay instead.

Today's work. I have been trying out a bit of colour and I am now covered in paint. Anyway here is the days work:

So this week I have been drawing from my imagination.....which I was very nervous about. I always worry that there maybe nothing in there, but I was surprised by my drawing of a school coming from the depths of my brain. I did take a wee bit of reference from a quick sketch of a building but the rest came from scribbling. I was amazed by how much I have been absorbing from drawing out and about. I now have to write an essay so I probably won't post any pictures for a week.
