I used to watch the board artists using watercolors, gouache, pastels, pen and ink etc..............and wished I was one of them rather than the studio manager/secretary!<br /><br />Another beautiful walk - glad you didn't take the jellyfish home in case it was a stinger!<br /><br />Hugs - MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977564569973321926.post-84039625532196026372011-09-08T19:12:45.330+01:002011-09-08T19:12:45.330+01:00I like the seaweed; I too picture it's eleganc...I like the seaweed; I too picture it's elegance when swaying underwater in it's proper environment. :)<br /><br /> Scary jelly fish...brrrr <br /><br />and not to get off topic, but I LOVE your Hare fabric!!

I love the artwork too, all your artwork is so captivating. Thought of what you do while out on my walk today - if I didn't have the course work I would be doing the same as you!

I thought of your drawings when I was in the V&A yesterday looking at their botanical illustrations - I love the effect of something from nature so beautifully and accurately executed on a plain white background which seems to bring it into such sharp relief.<br /><br />Pomona xPomonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399181139470676975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977564569973321926.post-82430308720315468672011-09-06T01:02:27.318+01:002011-09-06T01:02:27.318+01:00Good evening Milly.

Week 35 has got your beautiful drawing and painting stretching so gracefully across the full spread of of your sketchbook.<br /><br />I love seeing your pencil drawing and then finding out how your subtle painting and inks bring the line drawing into a third dimension.<br /><br />Wonderful that you did brave the soggy weather to see what the tide had delivered.

You make me look at the tide line near here with different eyes.<br />I've noticed that you are writing more and more about your observations and I enjoy it a lot.

You've really got that rubbery, shiny, seaweedy quality just right... feels like I could pick it up off the page!<br />Good for you braving the weather and it made me smile that you took chocolate... a constant supply of good 70% or 80% dark chocolate is the one thing that keeps me going these days! The only thing is that the children have developed a taste for it and keep finding my hiding places - surely children aren't supposed to like heavy, bitter dark chocolate, are they! :)Windsongs and Wordhoardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12211375575810428500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977564569973321926.post-29458712187928356642011-09-05T18:37:18.032+01:002011-09-05T18:37:18.032+01:00Gorgeous picture Milly, I love the muted colours y...Gorgeous picture Milly, I love the muted colours you've captured!
