Happy Paint Party Friday

Marsden Rocks

My daughter was visiting today and so we had a little trip to Marsden Rocks near South Shields. The weather was gorgeous and the sea looked very blue, unusually as it most often looks grey.

This sea stack used to be a lot bigger, there used to be an arch joining another stack. It partly collapsed in 1996 and the rest was demolished as it was classed as unsafe.

This sea stack is called Lot's Wife.

We spotted this isopod on the beach, I think it may be a eurydice pulchra

[the internet is a wonderful thing]

Altered Photos

Two more pictures which I created on the Galaxy note using photoshop touch. The background on the one above was originally a blue fabric and the creatures were made by altering a photograph.

The flowers below was originally a photo of something found in the sea too but after I altered them I thought they made nice flowers. The background I created separately.

Pages from Sketchbooks

This house was created using found shapes.

On the page below I used the colours that had seeped thru from the previous page, then drew on the flowers and thin blue lines.

This doodle also seeped thru to the next page as shown below. It is the promarker pens that seep thru, I think they make some nice effects

I sketched the sea creatures below by copying a photo in a magazine
