This morning I did walk up to Freeport despite the stuff that there was rain in the air. I didn’t get too damp and today I made a plaque as I hadn’t used the letters before. I really struggled to get the centres out of the letters as they were only marked and didn’t cut through. After I had done them I looked in the display window and saw that the previous plaques had left the the marked centres in and painted them a different colour after firing! I think it oooks quite good with gaps in the P, A and R. I shaped the balloons and will paint the strings in when I paint it.
I walked home as well, doing a bit of shopping on the way.
This evening I have done sketches in both books with the same subject matter. I used coloured pencils for the bigger one as I did for the sketch last night.
Quiet evening in store for a change.
The sketch of you is good but I think the face is too wide. Still pretty good though.
ReplyDeleteThe party sign looks a lot better with the letter cutouts. Worth the extra effort I think. You’ll have to arrange a party now 🙂
Tonight’s sketches are both nice but I still prefer the monochrome version. I think it’s to do with my age and black and white TVs 📺😊
Hope the evening did stay quiet for you.
The plaque will be used at parties at the pottery, they are getting quite a few bookings now.
ReplyDeleteI like the pen drawings but good to have a bit of variety and do slightly bigger drawings!
