Bit of an 80s inspired piece using watercolour, pastels and pen on watercolour paper. About time I softened up on the black ink for a while.

Something more suitable to match the weather. Inks and masking tape on watercolor paper. What a grumpy day already. Must get a new brolly so I can go out.

Well, that was an afternoon of obsessional 'squaring'. If the table wasn't so chaotic to start with I might have been able to do a few more! 😂 Looking forward to getting the inks out soon to play over the top.

A little practice idea, felt pens and ink on watercolour paper. I do enjoy using Crayola felt pens and crayons, feels like I have more permission to just play instead of worrying about wasting expensive art products.

An interesting experiment with inks and cling film has given a shiny texture effect on the watercolour paper. Almost looks like stained glass. I see many more experiments with this idea. I might even remember to video it!

Little finished piece on top of many unfinished ones! Anyone else work on 4,5 or 10 pieces at the same time?

A little piece I think is finished now. Watercolour paint, ink and marker pens on watercolour paper. I love seeing how much I can throw on one tiny piece before I lose the balance in it.

Some 9cm by 9cm approx watercolour and ink pieces from today. Not sure if watching The World's Strongest Man was an influence or not? I can only hope. Strong lines maybe?

A new style from a very old style, seems that I'm going around in very big circles, or squares, or... Lines? 😂

A selection of squares from the few hundred I ended up with. Some have ink on them now, none of them are quite right...

More squares covering my desk! Obsessing over mini pieces again, and having a watercolour flow with Star Trek on in the background. Still not sure I can get through Next Gen before Netflix takes it off in January!

Another doodling day with black ink. Always my go-to when I get a bit stuck with the paints. I need to start experimenting with new paper. Can anyone recommend some good mixed media or watercolour paper that can hold a lot of water and inks?

Still being square (ok, rectangle!) it's a relaxing process, but I'm not sure where to take it once the masking tape is off. They don't feel finished. Maybe I'll do a few more and see if any fun ideas pop up!

Did it go too far? Should I have left the watercolour squares alone and just enjoyed it as it was? I'm just really glad the teeny masking tape was waterproof! Experiment 1 done. Back to the paints and more squares!

I got somewhat stuck on rectangles on Friday! I had not tried the colored square with my usual thick border before. I think I like it, but I think I might need to do many many more!
