I’m good at drawing. Pretty decent: that’s why I studied Illustration in a past life. No challenge too great, no scribble too small. But I got bored of Photorealism years ago.
Watercolours- I learned how to paint gatecrashing an art group for OAPs when I was 16. Proper watercolour skills.
Etching and Lino carving- I’m really good at these. I adore the mark making and the unpredictability of the process. I adore the imperfections.
Thrift store shopping- I adore finding clothes and wonderful random things in car boot sales and charity shops. Love adding a bit of casual drama to my outfits.
My makeup- I love painting my face in different colours, hues, tones, etc. The absolute indulgence of painting one’s face- I adore the process, especially with some good music or an audiobook on in the background… music will subliminally make me select my outfits.
I’m loving the audiobook of ‘Just Kids’ by Patti Smith and I spent today rediscovering the soundtracks of Craig Armstrong and William Orbits take on John Cale.
