I don't just paint in acrylics..... I 'paint in felt'

A quick stop-motion-movie of a commission I completed last week.  A hare that had to ...have large ears, be full of character and generous chops'

Think I did it (well if the reaction of his new owner was anything to go by - I did!)

Friday update

After two weeks of struggling to get to my paints, I have finally managed :)

So, what's on my desk today?

A lot of incomplete work.  

I can't layer too much acrylic on to the slate with out it completely drying and hardening 

otherwise it lifts off the paint below.

I also get bored painting the same creatures so I thought I'd play with something different....

 

but of course, I return back to my favourite :)

Well, it was sunny a day or two ago :)

It isn't now though - 

Doesn't matter coz this fellow will always be sitting in a meadow 

bathed in sunlight..

Just waiting for him to fully harden 

then I can give him his final protective coating.

Meanwhile, 

I am sure it it time for a cup of tea before I reach for my next piece of slate :)

Procrastination (with coffee)

While the rain lashes down outside,

while I drink coffee and listen to the radio,

I watch a soggy starling trying to build its nest.

Best get on, must finish this lot before sending off to become cards :)

What are you doing on this rather damp day?

Watercolour designs for cards

Finally a gap in the commissions,

time to continue with the card designs.

Need to do more,

so best 'get to it'!

 But first....

Put the kettle on,

I need a mug of tea :)

Happy Friday!

The sun is positively beating down

 (in a gentle spring like way)

 and it has really boosted all our moods in the 'studio' today.

The cats are soaking up the rays, 

the dog is snoring and I have started some new sketches - see - everyone is happy :)

So what is on my desk today?

A couple of hares - designs for cards.

A mule ewe.

A sun worshipping cat.

Have a lovely weekend (a bank holiday weekend here in the UK),

hope the sun shines for you too.
