This week's challenge is What Is It? At first I was truly uninspired and then I had a thought and completed my image all in one go this afternoon. It went really quickly and I thoroughly enjoyed it, which is great as I spent the first half of the week having no...
The challenge for 52Frames this week is Shoot from Above (https://52frames.com). I have been doing quite a lot of online jigsaws recently and really enjoy the aerial landscapes. I thought I would look for something on line. It is the first time I have used...
52Frames this week has set the challenge of creating a Triangular Composition. I have used a picture of my cat on the kitchen windowsill but flipped it so it reads better. I was really pleased with the original drawing and was a bit surprised by how cat like I...
The challenge set for this week is Everything in Focus! For photographers this is an excercise in depth of field. If you create a drawn image you already select how much of your image is in focus. I was not sure how to tackle this, then my friend suggested...

This weeks 52Frames challenge is Leading Lines. I wanted to use a reference picture from Orkney that I took several years ago. I did not intend to do this in oil pastel, but then I thought I could try out a technique I had seen in a book I am looking at, of...
The challenge for 52Frames this week is Lamp. The challenge specifies that the lamp must appear in the image. I decided I would try and use one of my glass oil lamps, which oddly I had just put oil in for the first time in years! The background was a purple...
