Let’s TAKE A BREAK!
Plus a peek in my sketchbook & what I've been up to 👀
I am taking this week off so there will be no ART HANG PARTY!
However, there are 188 replays over on my youtube channel for you to choose from!
Not to play favourites, but here are some1 of my all-time top favs!
Same Reference Different Times
The first session saved on YouTube (cringe!)
It’s my goal to keep ART HANG PARTY! free and accessible for everyone. If you like what I do here and are able please show some support over on my Kofi, join the ART HANG PALS on YouTube or I have quietly turned on paid subs here if that’s more your thing :)

CATCHING UP FROM LAST WEEK
On Saturday I joined Charlotte Hamilton for a zoom drawing session and drew from photos from her recent retreat in Black Mountain. Always a lovely time!
Self portraits:
WEDNESDAY JULY 22
Gym day! (feeling good!)
THURSDAY JULY 23
Today was Build-A Ballroom at ART HANG PARTY! And as with all our build-a-scene sessions this one was a lot of fun!
We had 4 minutes for each reference, and the challenge was to collage them all together on one page into a big giant ballroom scene. Which turned out be more of a big giant party if you ask me!
FRIDAY JULY 24
I made myself a new little watercolour palette with mostly my OG Holbein colours (Gamboge Nova, Quin Magenta, Turquoise Blue, Sap Green, Ultramarien Deep, Lavender, Shell Pink), and a few new favourites added in (Lemon Yellow Deep, Buff Titanium, Quin Opera, Indigo, Vandyke Brown).
I’ll take this for a spin tomorrow when I’m out night kayaking in Stratford, ON!
SATURDAY JULY 25
I’m in Stratford! I was able to do this quick painting while others were adding lights and decorations to our kayaks and paddle boards.
Then we had a great time kayaking the Avon River as the sun set!
SUNDAY JULY 26
I did a quick little painting of my niece’s cat Mika before we headed off for a big family bbq.
Let’s make our own sketchbooks! I’m sharing two methods for making sketchbooks that both lay flat. One uses tape, and the other uses glue / Modpodge.
🤗💖✨
Oops! Looks like once again I find I’ll need to play catch-up on my self portraits next week.
See you NEXT Thursday at ART HANG PARTY!
