The funny wobbly mug

 I am skill building one page at a time. 

This is page 18 of 40.

The glazing on the mug reminds me of the old mugs that were in my Grandparents kitchen. I didn't like those at all, and the glazing still isn't my favaourite.

I enjoy drawing the spots on the tablecloths, it's good practise to draw the shapes you see, not circles. The texture of the tablecloths are a pleasant challenge.

I've shared time lapse videos of my drawing on Tik Tok and instagram - see my username @bizarrequilter

The funny animal mug

 I've challenged myself to fill a 40 page A3 black visual diary with chalk pasatel drawings before I start on paints.

This is number 17 of 40.

I'm using an art prompt from #mugshotmonday on instagram.

I like the way the composition is all about this huge mug, and background is divided into thirds.

The unusual shape of this mug is a challenge, but also fun to draw. There's a lot of painting on this mug. I wonder if I will get up to painting ceramics at some time.

A new mugshot

 A new mugshot monday art prompt took my fancy on instagram.

Such a fun, colourful composition. I simplified the background to remove the trees in the windows. I really like the use of the tablecloth. I think my flower stems are a little too short. But, practise is key!

I'm learning about this composition thing....

The spotty mug

 I've pawed my way through the artist prompts on instagram under the hashtag #mugshotmondayart and found this cutie from week 4.

I loved playing with this colour story.

Today, I was interested to look at shadows and direction of line markings.

The strawberry mug

 

Eek! This strawberry looks so cute!

This is the art image prompt from week 19 of the #mugloversart challenge. 

I've made mine using chalk pastel, because this is what I have, but it's also how I'd paint it.

Personally, I love the tiled background. I would love to use this as a backdrop in future still life drawings and paintings.

MugShot

 Here's my chalk pastel inspired by one of this week's instagram Mug Shot Monday Art reference images.

The composition is created by @debbierosemiller, featuring a delightfully whacky mug by @lilylundceranics.
