Sunny walks

We have had a couple f days of nice walks in the sunshine. It is my favourite sort of weather - crisp and cold and sunny. I love it.

Yesterday we went to Weymouth which was lovely

 

 

 

 

 

 

and today we walked at 'our' beach and it was lovely too

 

and I have scrapping to share

 

This was for challenges at Scrap Squad and Hey Little Magpie and it uses a photo of the Kingfisher I painted which I was quite pleased with

 

 

 

 

and this again was for challenges of Osmington Mills from Sunday

 

 

 

In other news I have done a 4 day pastel pencil course. I was stupid enough to buy the pencils - the full set of very expensive pencils - before I realised that pastels are probably NOT for me.

 

They are messy, they are imprecise, I find the hard to control and I love my polychromos

This was what I did before the course of Koda's eye (the left is the reference photo)

 

 

These were the three fur lessons (they are tiny - just 2" square)

And this was the eye lesson

 

I'm not impressed but I will have another go - one day.

 

And I painted this happy little cow too

 

Today I am thankful for

• new art supplies - though NOT the pastel pencils
• lovely walks
• the sea - always
