Last weeks best job! Out & About in Crieff

Crieff in Black & White

I'm doing lots of sketches towards an illustrated map for the car parks of Crieff. 

Burrell Square

Bank Street

The Old Bank, High Street

St. Ninian's & The War Memorial

The Town Hall

Castle Menzies

Having been a guest at an engagement party on a cold Spring night where the highlight was a tour around the haunted rooms of Castle Menzies, complete with chilly gusts, I got to speaking with John Jack.
John turned out to be the castle administrator and he invited me to bring along a few paintings of the place to try and sell.
He bought the lot and asked me to paint another, larger one, which I'll get round to...eventually!
Here they are. They're all small, (around 12 - 18 inches square), oils on board, done quickly outdoors and finished off in the studio

juneable: This week's Juneable Job: Easy Monoprinting - without a press

This week's Juneable Job: I've been reminding myself how- to make monoprints. It's been ages since I did some, so I practised with my regular learning disabled class this week. We had a lot of inky fun and everyone made beautiful art. I kept the plates inked up and used them later at my drawing sesion. I didn't do half as interesting work. But at least I've remembered how mucky the process is! Check my 'Loadsa Arty Stuff' Hub Pages on my website;   HOW-TO-EASY-MONO-PRINTING
