  last weeks secret sketch challenge... I got around to it tonight. I feel like decapitation is probably a punishment fitting the crime if you are a tree spirit and the one you are after is a lumberjack. Man... I shouldve splattered way mor red paint on this. maybe later.

  Urban Sketchers — Authority: 563
  Sunday was the last day of the festival. All the participants were at the courtyard of an old building at via Crociferi in Catania. It was a very relaxing atmosphere. There were tables with information, instruments and Cds. There was music everywhere. Suddenly one started playing and others joined, people gathered to ...

• it’s a bit complicated

  
  petescully — Authority: 462
  #1 in a series of 1. Most likely. This is the living room. By the way, if you do ride your bike around town at 4am, please remember your bike-light. I always do. It’s the law. It’s also annoying when a fellow cyclist comes hurtling towards you the wrong direction of the bike lane with no light on. You feel obliged ...

  Sunflowers This started out as a quick Shirley Trevena style practice painting. It went a bit wrong in the middle so I thought Id try adding some collage bits to it. I tried to keep it simple by only using some sheet music strips, some blue Japanese patterned paper and the central sunflower which is a piece of ...

• The Ozenphant

  
  Ellis Nadler's Sketchbook — Authority: 463
  In his Foundations of Modern Art, Amedée Ozenfant discusses the beauty of mankinds earliest paintings: the silhouetted outlines of human hands on the cave walls of Pech Merle , France. This inspired my invention of a hybrid creature, the ozenphant. Top: ink on Moleskine 6cm x 4cm. Below: Watercolour, crayon and ...

• Illustration Friday: Blur

  
  French Toast Girl — Authority: 117
  Most of 2004 was a blur to me. I had a one-year old who had recently undergone surgery, and then had preemie twins who were born 10 weeks early and came home with heart/lung monitors. I had a day job. And, unsurprisingly, a large case of post-partum depression. I had days where the only way I got through them was the ...

• stop, look, listen

  
  petescully — Authority: 462
  Think of a big STOP sign, and you will stop thinking about what you were thinking; if you need to, that is. Well I was listening to The Jam and sitting outisde Uncle Vito’s Pizza (not very good pizza, btw) in downtown Davis on a sunny Sunday afternoon in downtown Davis, at the corner of 2nd and E streets. I ...

• The last kiss

  
  Illustrated Life — Authority: 422
  I worked a little more on the watercolour of the candy and am calling it done for the moment in terms of showing work in progress.  I still have to firm up the lettering and deepen folds in spots but thats not a large job. I have enjoyed the process of painting these, but there are challenges as well in all those ...

• Cappuccino

  
  Ea's Artlog — Authority: 110
  Tough times at the moment. Managed to grab a short break and a cappuccino on Friday. I only had about 20 minutes to drink my coffee and do a quick watercolour sketch. Only the full cup was mine - the other two were on the table when I arrived, making for a nice café still life. One of the waitresses turned up ...

• Jacaranda time

  
  A sketch in time — Authority: 110
  It doesnt seem a year ago that I was painting jacarandas in flower, but here they are again. This is in our garden - it jostles for position with a yellowwood, a stray little privet and a tall cyprus. Weve had lots of wind, hail and rainstorms this year so the blossoms look a little sparser than usual.

• Food sketches and a book on dining and painting

  
  Africantapestry — Authority: 405
  I’ve said this before…if all else fails, paint food. It really works. Whether it is the sensuality of food, or the colours or the health apsect or hunger or satisfaction or all of it together…painting food is a delight. It has been so for ages as you will see further down below. I had some poivrons cornes de ...

• Floral Larceny and Nectar Robbing: Laziness and some Bad Behaviour in the Bumble Bee world.

  
  pencil and leaf — Authority: 118
  Bumble Bees steal nectar.. yes, it’s a shocking fact. I had no idea such underhand behaviour went on in the seemingly righteous world of the busy bee. Bumble Bees need nectar for flying fuel and as the different species of Bumble Bees have foraging ranges of between 5 and a tiring 20 K,  if a bee takes a bit of ...

• Doing studies

  
  Illustrated Life — Authority: 422
  I look at creating a study before a major painting purely as practice and a way of working out colours, values, composition, and background.  Its no different than a pianist practicing a piece before a recital or knitting a swatch before starting a full sweater. I like working out my palette with a study before I ...

• Just A Blur Unfinished

  
  Terry's Ink and Watercolor — Authority: 114
  I have many pieces of art like this that must be completed. The only deadline pressures are the ones I place on myself. I do lots of experimenting at times and end up with art on a variety of subjects that I need to complete. So, I continue to view and examine all of my incomplete artwork. Eventually I make some ...

  Utopia Moment — Authority: 117
  Not too much comment needed here. This was done on the back of another drawing. I’m in a bit of a lull at the moment, after recent traumatic stuff. So, taking the opportunity to relax at little. So, there will probably be more drawings, etc. Pictures of cats? Maybe so. You can only hope.

• Starting from scratch

  
  Illustrated Life — Authority: 422
  When ever I clean out my studio I find things that I have forgotten about.  This time it was some hand made paper. Occasionally in the summer I get the urge to make paper.  Its time consuming and very messy so I take it to the garden.  In involves newspapers, water, screen frames and lots of mess.  The home made ...

  Sarah Lynch — Authority: 122
  9"X6" Mixed media Not much of an offering but at least I tried. I went for a short walk at lunchtime and sat for a few minutes to do this quick sketch. I wasnt helped by the fact that I was drawing "contre jour". It was also a bit chilly and I didnt have my fingerless mitts with me. I did find a great place to sit ...
