I love 💕 this little creative trick: hold a branch or plant over paper and drawing around the shadow it casts. I love this so much because the shapes feel so alive and organic, full of movement, softness, and surprise. It’s such a lovely way to let nature help make the marks. 🍃 You can mix it up by using different mark making tools together…….. Try pen; charcoal; paint; markers; watercolour pencils; whatever you’ve got!!! Use them in conjunction! You could add some collage pieces too if you like. This technique is a wonderful starting point to kickstart your project and kickstart your creativity. Have you ever tried drawing from shadows before? Have fun!!!! 🌈🫟🎨🧑‍🎨

Happy Bank Holiday weekend, lovely arty people! 🩷🌸 Hope you’re getting a little time to rest, recharge, and maybe sneak in some play with your art too. No pressure, no perfection, just a bit of creative fun if it feels right.🫟 What’s everyone up to this weekend? Rest, making, or both? Share something you’re working on if you’re up for it! 🎨🧑‍🎨

Just having a bit of fun painting. originaly I painted the suit green, but wasnt sure of the colour, so did it again in dark grey. I found this quite amusing, but its probably just me. Im presently thinking about one or two paintings with yellow welly boots and umbrellas. why? simply because I dont usually like yellow, so why not paintg an amusing painting in yellow. I know. Ihave an odd sense of humour.
