Woman with an apple.

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.

Today's is a woman with an apple.

Fresh water fish

I am creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it. Today I went to the pet shop with my baby boy. He loves the tanks of swimming fish.
So here is today's drawing. A fresh water fish.

Malta, by Kirsteen Lyons

Malta. I was 16 when I was here. I had never experienced heat like it before, when I got off the plane I thought I was standing in the blast from the jet engines!

I went with friends from Liverpool and at the airport we wished our Maltese friends goodbye. My Liverpool friends made extravagant promises to keep in touch forever, already having moved long distance twice, I made no such promises, (perhaps I was the sader for my knowing silence) however I seem to have managed to never forget them. I hope they are well.

Deer.

I'm doing a drawing a day.
Here is today's.

Woodland path. By Kirsteen Lyons in Markers and tipex pen.

I am creating a drawing a day, not for any commercial reason but just for the art of it.

Here is today's drawing of woodland.

Drawing of my son.

The latest drawing in my mission to create a drawing a day for 2016.

Cat

Cat.
Fluffy one this time! X

Swallow and her teenage chick.

I love birds. Here is the sort of drawing that would have been beyond difficult before photography was invented. To think some artists committed suicide because photography had "replaced them"! I find it such an aid to photograph things too, even if I'm mainly working from life.

Castles! One to see and one for kids to colour in.

I'm creating a drawing a day for 2016.
A friend requested a fairytale castle for her daughter.
So here they are: one to see and one to copy to your computer print and colour in. Have fun!

Otter

Create a drawing every day. Otter.

Tulip

Tulip (my favourite flower) in water soluble pencil and tipex.

Edinburgh from the crags.

It's not true what they say "that the best thing to come out of Edinburgh is the last train to Glasgow!" Edinburgh is wonderful! It's just Glasgow is even more so! :)

I may have gotten a little carried away with the mixed media:
Pen, watercolour, watersoluable pencils, inktense pencils, inktense pastels and tipex!!!

This one is dedicated to my niece Katie, happy birthday!

Elephant drawing number 30

The latest work in my crazy plan to create a drawing every day for 2016!

I love animals, I have been drawing animals alli my life and it never gets old!

Calligraphy horse. Drawing number 29.

Technically calligraphy means beautiful writing, so really this is just a horse drawn with a calligraphy pen. Easy and quick to do, but I did spend most of my childhood practicing with calligraphy pens!

Kangaroo, butterfly, leopard, The Domo and cat!

On my mission to create a drawing every day for 2016, I have caught up! I didn't quite start on the first day of 2016. I now have a drawing for every day so far!

Why art on a luggage label? It's more of a why not?

Also I have included some stages for the kangaroo drawing. My daughter was with me when I took the photo I worked from. We were both amazed how close he let us get!

Manor house.

Create a drawing a day. Drawing 27. Manor house in the Sussex forests.

Canadian Bear!

Thank you so much for all the lovely feedback on Facebook and Instagram. It's so good to share my project.

Graphic Panda! 25.

Here is a black and white panda bear with a brush felt tip. Very simplified. 25th Jan but I'm still playing catch up after not starting straight after new year so not quite drawing number 25.

Boat and reflection.

Here is a boat and its reflection also a peek at my studio (living room table)!

My daughter is joining in!

I have a blog for art projects with my kids but now she is joining in with a drawing a day! Where to post it? Here is the kids project blog:
