All sorts for WOYWW

This week has been a week of 

all sorts. I did heaps of

bits n pieces to try and

get some paintings close to finished.

First to my desk,

it's the usual mess

I have my Doctor Who mug, which is a necessity

for creating, my gorgeous art journal cover,

thanks to LLJ and numerous bits of junk 

that just land there.  

Well you don't think I'd leave it there now do you?

In the centre is the photoshopped print of the next painting

I've just started.  You can see I've marked out

 all the points I need to draw it up on the canvas.

Here are the steps I've done so far.

You start with poo,

add a little cack

and you get a poocackarama!!

Then you can start drawing it up.

I'm still drawing, can't rush these things..

I became an art surgeon this week and 

I performed my first artistic liposuction.

Mrs Cockatoo was complaining that she was was

far too fat,

and I had to agree, so I operated

I removed the excess fat and

re-sculpted her tummy to make a much

slimmer lady.

If anyone wants to lose a few pounds,

and doesn't mind being slapped with a soggy wet cloth

  and dug with a pallette knife,

I'm available and kinda cheap

but never easy!

The cockies were inked today and they look great

but you'll have to take my word for it

as stupid here forgot to take a picture.

I could show you all the ink colours used

cos they are still all over my fingers.

I like to try to write down the colours of ink that were used

 and it's a good way to remember,

I just look at my fingers and write it down.

Even then I still can't get the colour right on the next one.

I think I'm colour theory blind!

I inked some more of my jelly fish

Would you believe this is violet and turquoise, it just won't photograph.

slowly adding tentacles but still a way to go.

There was some other paint slopping as well

but nothing exciting.

Well, that bird isn't going to draw itself,

although I wish it would, so

that's it from me,

now how about you go and visit

Julia's Stamping Ground

and see what's on everyone elses

desk this wednesday.
