Summer and an art tip.

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.

It's summer, it's festival time, it's beach time, it's camping time!
Today's drawing is a summer doodle.

Tip: Folding up a pop up tent always involves a fleeting moment of panic and a more lasting moment of triumph, most art is like this in my limited experience, I try to persevere to the winning moments.

Pinching my daughter's art materials again!

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it.
Today's is a flower done with Windsor and Newton water colour markers (that my daughter got for Christmas) and a bit of white acrylic. It's not at all British to say this but I'm really pleased with this one, although as a textile designer I'm right in my comfort zone with flowers. #drawingadayclub

Butterfly

Today's is a butterfly. I have been designing furnishing fabric for the last two hours which I have to keep secret untill it's sold and manufactured - it's very nice for me to share the drawing of the day with my friends and have a two way communication!

If you want to see some textile design that is not secret you can see it here:

Also I have included a picture of me wearing one of my fabrics.

Hibiscus flower

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

Today's is a hibiscus flower.

These grow so profusely in Malaysia, they remind me of looking at the stars from the south China sea and suddenly realising I couldn't pick out a single constellation, then I knew I had wandered far!

My beloved Liverpool.

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

Today's is Liverpool, viewed from across the water in the Wirral.

I lived here for four years and got to love the loyal, humourous people and beautiful tough city.

It's the poorest city in the UK and has the most grade one listed buildings. It's a place of contrasts.

If you go hang out on the bluecoat gallery, stay all day in the café, garden, gallery and art shop, stay all day and then catch a live gig in the evening. Mention me to the light and sound guys, they might sneak you in the back!

Happiness diagram!

I'm creating a drawing a day, because it makes me happy!
Today's requires viewer participation, you fill in the diagram and then make a short plan to have more sunshine yellow in your life! 😃

Blossom tree.

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

Today's is a blossom tree.

Also I have photographed all the kit that now goes on my son's pushchair everyday (minus the tablet I took the shot on) so I can create a drawing a day and share it!

It takes a bit of doing when you also have two kids!

A little blue bird and little blue flowers.

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

Today's is a little blue bird and some little blue flowers.

The flowers are some my daughter bought me, no special occasion, she and my husband just had to wait for me outside a forest, so I got flowers! I'm a lucky mum.

Mini daffodils, they have a name!

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

Today's is a drawing of those mini daffodils! I'm sure someone will supply the name.

Daffodil

I am creating a daring a day for a year, just for the art of it. Today I have done daffodils.
