Musk Deer

 

pen, inktense pencils, water and oil pastels

Musk Deer are on the endangered list. They are often killed by hunters to obtain the musk which is used in perfumes and medicines. Hunting and habitat destruction endanger the present day survival of all musk deer species. The Siberian musk deer is the most threatened.

I'm joining in with Friday Face Off

The Hawksbill Turtle

I used different mediums in my handmade sketchbook.

 

Mixed Media and Rice

  Mixed media pages from an Illustration course.

It's an ugly fish partly submerged under gravel in case you were wondering.

Pen, watercolour, oil pastels, Neocolor water soluble crayons.

I'll also use this for a fish prompt for Doodlewash.

Upcycling

I asked my daughter if she wanted some out of date rice for the kids for crafts, she didn't so I said I'll see what I could do with it.

I used pudding rice, some old cord and a scrap piece of wood. I glued the pieces on then painted with acrylics. I guess the type of glue and paints aren't suitable for small children.

Paint Party Friday

Friday Catch Up - 21Jan22

Doodlewash Challenge

R is for Rose

S is for Seal

T is for Tortoise

I'm thinking of repeating one of the paintings from this month for a postcard for the Twitter Art Exhibit. People can send in their artworks, about postcard size to sell to raise money, this year it is for the Encephalitis Society.

I sent one in last year for a different cause and it sold on the first day of the exhibition.

I signed up for the TextileArtists.org stitch camp this week, it lasts for 5 days and was free to join. The workshop instruction was given by Gwen Hedley.

Day  mark making on fabric with paints using 2 colours.

 

When I got started on day 2 I realized that there was not enough black paint on the yellow half so I painted on more black. I forgot to take a photo of the full piece before starting to cut it up but this is a photo of half of it.

We also did a piece with more spaced out paint.

I thought the small might make an interesting fabric so here it is. It was nothing to do with the stitch camp, just went off on a tangent.

Day 2 - Deconstruct and reconstruct.

Pieces cut up and then joined together.

Day 3 - Adding hand stitching - no photo yet

Day 4 - Adding layers - no photo yet

As it is Friday again Happy Paint Party Friday
