Balloons

My first #sketchbookclub project. Gouache paint and pens on an old map. Lovely memories of living in Bristol and seeing the annual flurry of balloons during the fiesta.

I LOVED doing this one but am going to have another go at it as I’ve made some mahoosive mistakes and just want to be happy with at least one hot air balloon! Lovely lovely module from sketchbookclub #sketchbookclubballoons ...

sketchbookclub balloons. Found this quite difficult. Small details in gouache without a teeny tiny brush were hard and the humidity meant the paint was taking forever to dry and kept muddling. 🤷🏼‍♀️ also made a 🐷 👂🏻 of sticking the map in the book but you can’t win them all. #sketchbookclubballoons ...

Made a very small start on the latest module for Sketchbook Club - hot air balloons! Since mine are flying over a very green map of Northern France and Belgium, they needed a bit of a white acrylic undercoat in preparation for loads of lovely bright colours.

Work in progress. Preparing for the next Sketchbook Club is one of my favourite things to do. Jennie Maizels has created a gorgeous hot air balloons module where you paint with gouache straight into maps. Also, within the module, Jennie teaches a great technique for painting trees.
If you fancy joining us at Sketchbook Club on Wednesday at the Rosendale Pub in West Dulwich email me at Dulwichdoodledays@gmail.com.

All materials, snacks and a glass or two of fizz included.

Tucked up in bed with my pens finishing last week's #sketchbookclub #sketchbook #mrsbrimblesoctdaily 'so me' #hotairballoons #drawing #painting #sketchbookclubballoons ...

Flying high! It’s the last week of the summer holidays for us this week and it’s a week to sort, tidy and prepare for the coming term.
Over the very rainy bank holiday we had I completed another #sketchbookclub from jenniemaizels Certainly not my finest work and I found it quite tricky working freehand with the gouache and no outline to follow.
I’ve learnt lots with this one; how the gouache behaves, layering paints, brush control and shading. Great fun!

#sketchbookclubBalloons ...

#sketchbookclubballoons My first ever sketchbook club module. I made life difficult for myself by cutting up an old worn map with lots of creases and tears - not a great surface for painting. While I am quite happy with the result I might attempt a version 2 on a nicer map - and maybe add some figures in the baskets...? All constructive criticism and feedback on my efforts welcome! Now I have the fun of choosing the next module. I am thinking fish... ...

I'm still trying to do one #sketchbookclub a month although it always seems to be a different one to everyone else!
Another one for a sunny day 😊
