I like the colours in this, and the way the blue is graduated. This is Daler Rowney purple with Winsor Newton winsor blue and titanium white.

This is a variation on one I tried earlier, and sort of liked, but the original was too dark. This is Atelier burnt sienna with Winsor Newton winsor blue and titanium white. I like how this turned out.

This is Atelier burnt sienna and Winsor Newton winsor blue. I like the idea but it is too dark so might try again with a little white in the blue. Love the little blobs of colour though.

This is similar to yesterday’s but more intense, and equally hard to scan 😉 The background is less opaque, and the green is less chalky. Pretty close though, and it makes me happy! Dervan Matisse Naphthol scarlett, and Daler Rowney emerald with Golden Titanium white.


This has been a rough week for various reasons, so a day of pouring out my heart and head into my art journals has been good for me. I don’t sleep well some of the time, and when things are rough I tend to have bad dreams. I process everything that’s going in complicated dreams, often with my long-dead parents in them. I haven’t been doing that this week, but have been very wakeful, so hopefully getting lots of thoughts down in my art journals – many unreadable – will help settle my brain a bit! People say art is cheaper than a therapist, but I’m not sure they’ve seen my journal and paint supplies 😉
