…this is the first of several recent abstract experiments with ink and stained tissue on watercolour board that I am happy with. I like the subdued burgundy, brown and gold colours.

You might remember that I’ve used a similar technique for more representative landscape based pieces, also on watercolour board (click here).

This one is quite a small artwork but I think it may be one for framing at some point.

bit of a squeeze…

Sparked off by a recent post on my artist friend Elaine Phipps’ blog, my fascination (ie. nosiness) with the interiors of other artists’ working studios (especially small ones), once again reared its head…

how do other artists use the space…? what do other artists read…? what materials do other artists use…? what do other artists do for storage…?

…or is it just me?

This led to my ‘wandering’ about with my camera in my own studio yesterday (although it’s too small for wandering, more like stumbling from one corner to another)…

So here are a few corners from my studio…

Don’t forget to check out Elaine’s then perhaps show me some of yours?
