Digital art has a steep learning curve

July 31, 2016July 31, 2016 KateLeave a comment

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

Finished and ready…

Tunnels is having its final edit and the cover is complete. I'm just working on the small illustrations for the inside. As you can see the book has got some historical aspects... the plague doctor makes an appearance. And the cover is illustrated. I like it and I think it will work well... The image… Continue reading Finished and ready…

When a day can go from bad to worse

June 15, 2016 Kate2 Comments

It's raining which isn't a bad thing, but it has made the workshop cold. And as it is summer I refuse to put the heating on so I am in my winter jumper. The rain and cold suits my mood though. I was out at the weekend. Didn't really think anything of it. Simply came… Continue reading When a day can go from bad to worse

Now she is a new artist into the group so I wasn't sure what she was like. We had said hello but that was about it. Anyhow, we got… Continue reading New Friends

The Exhibition

April 17, 2016 KateLeave a comment

Yesterday I spent all day looking after the exhibition at Aberglasney Gardens. It's a joint one with Celf Canolbarth Cymru so there is a lot of different artwork. Basically, it has something for everyone. But I thought I'd show you my pieces as I know a load of you aren't in Wales, or even the… Continue reading The Exhibition

So I have been playing around with colour... And I have come up with this work. I like it, although it sort of scares me. 'Serenity' Mixed Media 37x43cm Prints available HERE

Painting – is it like riding a bike?

February 10, 2014 Kate1 Comment

That was the question that flowed around my mind this afternoon. I haven't picked up a paintbrush in six years. Today I did. And the result is nowhere near finished but I am pleased. It looks like it will be a fairly decent painting... At least I hope it is going to be. This will… Continue reading Painting – is it like riding a bike?
