Drawing

March 13, 2018 Kate4 Comments

Which is better? Digital or traditional? I do both. In fact, they both take the same amount of time. But which is the better medium? I can't decide... Which is the better for resale?

I’m trying something new

February 1, 2018 Kate5 Comments

There was a disaster... I am part way through moving to Swansea and my workshop is still back in Tregaron. But due to it not being heated there has been a growth of damp on the paintings and drawings. Some are untouched but a lot are sporting a few new colours and a wavy texture.… Continue reading I’m trying something new

Transformation

October 25, 2016 KateLeave a comment

I turned up yesterday with two large plastic boxes. Both are ordinary... Both have black lids. I went back to the car and picked up a striped fabric bag about 3 ft by 3ft.

I started doing my own thing, silly little cartoon creatures. They are cute but not the sort of art I want to produce so I started to see the spitpaint on Facebook as a way to learn. I need to be able to produce art... Chiefly, for galleries. I could tell you about the quality… Continue reading Digital art has a steep learning curve
