Back to the crappy week, which was particularly frustrating because I was actually really organised for my study deadline, then 10 days before due date, our teacher added two 16cm squares and one A3 painted repeat to our tasks. That's a huge amount to do in a week when you're just getting used to painting again, working full-time and have deadlines there as well. I got the assignment in on time, but there was a seriously late night of painting on Thursday. That made me next to useless at work on Friday and now I have to go in today (Sunday) to make up for it.
I am counting down the days until then, so life can get back to being vaguely normal and I can share some other bits and pieces I'm managing to keep going on the side. A wee bit of knitting and some embroidery. And of course, the planning for my Mexico trip.
For now, these images are what I've been working on in class. We used lots of different mediums over the semester for creating floral motifs including pencil, watercolour, gouache, ink and crayon, before building up to a final pattern repeat you can see at the bottom. Despite the last week, it's been a lot of fun.
I do miss my blogging though, so please forgive the absences and wish me luck in making it to the May deadline!
