Here are a number of my latest creations, a bit of a fox theme going on š.

I have been experimenting with some different papers, and I must admit to a new favourite being suede mat board, I love the soft finish, and it is great to work on with pastel and coloured pencil, I did a few test pieces on the offcuts and decided that using fixative was a good idea. The velvet soft texture of the card is Gorgeous, and I think my iPad camera picked up the texture so you can see that it gives a great background.

The other new card I have been trying is pastelmat board by clairefontaine, again I am really impressed, it takes watercolour pencils really well, and handled the small amounts of water fine. The pads come in a selection of different colour choices, just hard to choose which one to go with. I now have two pads as the first time I purchased a small pad by accident, I thought it was sized in inches….it was centimetres!

My mixed media hare was a great play time experiment, originally he was a charcoal, I then decided to use oil on watercolour card, seems ok, and itās great to have fun with products.

I am in the process of completing some oil paintings, they take me ages, so between them I grab out the other supplies, I hope to show you the oils as soon as possible, hopefully there will be some chance of painting during the Christmas holidays.

Hey you! Oh my, I LOVE all of these! The foxes look absolutely majestic. Great background on ‘Vision’, too, those patches of blue add so much.
Hope all is well š If I don’t catch you beforehand, I hope you have a great Christmas – one with plenty of time to paint!

Thank you Jacob, itās great to pop in now and again, with limited time I have decided not to put the extra pressure of posting regularly, but just when I can, I am sad about it but itās the least stressful compromise to myself š I really enjoyed āVisionā being free to place marks wherever I choose, without constraints on colour, so much more interesting. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas too, keep warm in the snow, we donāt have any down here in the south! I am planning to paint lots over Christmas, oh and ride on the forest if the weather stays kind š

I hear that – it can be a full-time job posting on here, not to mention keeping up with others. It’s great to see you pop up and surprise us anytime!
Thanks so much. We’ve had a couple of dustings here in Yarmouth, but nothing all that impressive – I’d like some, it’d make me feel a bit more festive! Hope it’s kind to you over the holiday! Keep on paintin’ š
