A bit of colour for a dark and very wet day. I'm almost looking forward to summer!

A bit of a peeling and cutting day. The rain has given a blue vibe to mood and ideas.

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've gone square! Having a play with new watercolour paints and a grid idea. Hope the tape is waterproof!

A little play with some soft pastels. Really relaxing.

An experiment of watercolour powder paint on autumn leaves. It adds a lovely vibrance to the time of year.

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!

This little piece never quite found its way. It's in the 'interesting experiments' pile now (the bin)

Watercolour paint and ink on watercolour paper, tape, more paper and pen.

All the fun prepping the backgrounds! From masking fluid, to vibrant powder paints to peeling off the masking fluids! I'm not sure what the best part is!

All the circles and all the lines. Still missing the Rotring pen but trying to cope without it!

All the circles and all the lines. Still missing the Rotring pen but trying to cope without it! I'm still new to circles, I'm wondering if they are telling me to ground myself more. Or maybe I'm just enjoying round things!

The artwork that killed the Rotring pen! So many circles, I think the pen nib just had enough and fell out! Or hid. Either way it's not there anymore! 😂

Goodbye beautiful 0.25 Rotring pen. I broke the nib. It's a sad day

Popping up some of my recent mini artworks. Watercolour powder paints and ink on watercolor paper. I'm in a vibrant line mode this month!

Peeling off the masking fluid. A rather therapeutic job!

Some of my mini art pieces I've been furiously working on the past week. I feel like I'm nearing a breakthrough on something.

Some fun with some left over scraps from the last bubble wrap and powder watercolor paint experiment. Rather therapeutic tearing pieces and gluing them to make something possibly a bit more vibrant! One for the scrapbook.
