<< September 2026                         Inktober, Darkartober                                                        

1. Monthly Scribble - this month I saw a cow. Drawing made in Procreate

 

3. Resplendent Quetzal - for Birdtober. Ink and copic marker on 170 g A5 paper.

 

4. Magpie - for TheTuesdaycollective, mostly watercolour on 18x24 cm coldpressed paper

 

5. Overthinking - feels familiar. Drawing made in Procreate

 

6. Black cat - for the spooky season, I had a play around with my granulating watercolours. This is a watercolour (Gansai Tambi granulating colours and W&N) on a Fabriano cold pressed 18x24 cm watercolour paper.

 

10. Spiders - a male peacock spider doing the mating dance. For TheTuesdaycollective. Ballpoint pen on A5 paper.

 

18. Witchy - I had another play around with my granulating watercolours without a reference. This is a watercolour (Gansai Tambi granulating colours and W&N) on hot pressed A4 watercolour paper. For TheTuesdayCollective.

There is a big difference in colour if I scan or photograph this painting, the photo is closer to what my eyes see. Must be the granulating pigments

 

22. Skeleton flowers - are flowers that become transparent when they are wet. I made these from UV gel and some wire and placed them in a Miniverse kitten cup. For TheTuesdayCollective.
